Had throat cancer in 2017 (1" lesion on tonsil). Started with radical neck resection surgery, followed by 8 weeks of concurrent radiation and chemo. All went well for 14 years. Now, a lesion had been found in the gum area of front lower teeth, Squamous cell carcinoma. Doc said that this is a slow moving cancer that will require extensive oral surgery. Proposed removal of cancerous lesions with large margin, also removal of all lower teeth and removal of the front 1/3 of jaw bone. Doc will do a bone graft from my fibula to replace the jaw bone removed. Hopefully, will have dental implants if jaw bone graft is successful. Naturally, this both disappoints me and scares the h.... out of me. Has anyone here gone through similar situation? Thanks in advance.
