My dad had his two mandiblectomies surgeries at Boston's Mass Eye and Ear. The surgeons who did his work teach at Harvard Medical School. Highly recommend if you want a second opinion. Dad's first one had an antibiotic resistant infection in the hardware, and then they discovered his cancer came back when they removed the hardware and scraped all the gunk off the bone. So, he had scapular one the second time. Now, he has to have his hardware removed because it's coming through his skin, but apparently that happens when you beat cancer in the long run. I wish you luck and that you find success in your treatments and know that you're not alone.
