My husband was treated for cancer on the base of his tongue 8 years ago. First, surgery, then 7 weeks of chemo and radiation. No sign of cancer now. The last two years he's had problems with tooth issues and last year had to have 2 abcessed teeth extracted. Before and after the extractions, he had hyberbaric treatments. In the last two months, the bone in his jaw has been deteriorating despite continued antibiotics and now we've been told that he needs jaw replacement surgery. We are terrified. Has anyone had this surgery and what has been the outcome.
