Thanks Christine, my jaw is being removed because of ORN and the fact it's close to fracturing in on itself and because the pain is so severe and my mouth doesn't even open anymore. This has worsened over the last couple weeks so I am seeing my Otolaryngologist Oncologist on Thursday. I wonder what the difference between Otoloaryngology and ENT is? I know OTO is head and neck anyway thank you for your information . I need to get more information as to how much of my jaw they are taking I know as of now they weren't sure how much of my jaw they had to take. I guess I will no more after the scans. I am on alot of pain medication now because it is so severe so I am worried about how they are going to handle it post op.
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.
