Just looking for some support. My dad survived throat cancer in 1998. He never smoked a day in his life. I. Radiation killed his salivary glands and blood flow to his left side jaw. November 2016 he had his left lower jaw removed and his left fibula bone placed with a custom metal plate in his jaw. It was the worst experience I’ve ever had to go through. No one should have to see their parent go through this. The after effects were even more tough. My father is a lawyer and makes his living speaking in a courtroom. This is his livelihood. Dealing with the stares, rude people saying they can’t understand him when he speaks has broken his spirit. But my father is a fighter. We just found out that he has to have his right side done now. This time he is going to a different hospital. His surgery is scheduled for June 27th.
