Curtis,

Thank you so much for posting. I live just north of you in Oklahoma and have several friends I'm planning to tell about your site. I also had a similar surgery although I didn't lose as much inside my mouth as you. The cancer was on my tongue instead of my cheek, up my gum line and tonsilar pillar. I was lucky and didn't lose any teeth or my jawbone. I did have the jawsplit and have the same lovely scar up to my ear from the neck dissection.

My friends don't seem to connect my surgery with their chew habits..since I don't chew or smoke. It will be great to show them someone who also chews...an outdoorsman and hunter...someone they can really relate to! Thanks again!

Jennifer
