Hello Keleigh
I am taking care of my mother. Her Mandibulectomy was done on March 25,2014 so its been about nine weeks since her surgery. I had the same problem with getting set backs for the surgery. A clearance was needed from her cardiologist before surgery. The Cardiologist then insisted on a stress test before he would release her for surgery. Then it was waiting on the insurance approving payment. Then getting her in for Pre-op seemed to be delayed. But I was surely on the phone every other day with the Surgeons office pushing the issues . The surgery took about 7 hours. Its a big surgery. My mom stood in ICU for 4 days and then in a regular room for 5 days . A total of 9 days in the hospital. She started her treatments 4 weeks after surgery and now she only has 1 week left to go. She is really sick here at the end and don't know if she can make it the last week. Prayers to you and your father. I hope all goes well. He will need a lot of taking care of as he recovers from surgery and starts treatments. Hopefully you will have some family help along the way. Good luck and Good Bless.
