Thank you for your information I appreciate the help with the type of trach, I already have a feeding tube and have had one for years. I don't have active cancer anymore my left jaw has ORN and had Osteomyelitis in it earlier this year, I am on 2 kinds of pain meds now and I am familiar with a pain pump I have had that before. My surgery was scheduled for Nov 17th at the U of M but my jaw is deteriorating so rapidly I can't open my mouth at all and my jaw is bleeding and clotting inside my mouth so I am in danger of asphyxia. I believe the surgery will probably happen faster now. I am seeing my surgeon on Thursday morning to discuss what to do next. When u say two types of pain meds in the hospital could you give me an example?
SCC of tongue diagnosed in July 2003 Half of tongue removed , then SCC with METS in January 2004. Radical neck dissection rt saliva gland remove.RAD/ chemot 2014 rt jaw ORN with Osteomyelitis and 20 dives&anitbiotic infusions. f Now Osteomyelitis and ORN on left jaw. The jaw broken through inside of my mouth and also is collapsing on the outside of my face. I am having my left mandible replaced with my fibula on November 17th. I am very scared and wondered if anyone else has gone thru this.
