My husband's cancer started under his left tooth cavity and was given antibiotics. He was diagnosed with stage 4 squamous cell carcinoma with metastasis to the lymph nodes.Two months later was his surgery and then radiation. His skin flap died as soon as we were dismissed to go home but his bone graft was OK. Now a year later he is a surviver.
Will your husband get a new bone graft once he healed?
Hang in there, Sophie
