I had a very large tumor in my lower jaw and I had sucessful surgery and radiation four years ago. Concerning Petey's comment on his jawbone being brittle and not eating anything hard.......my doctors never told me anything like that so make sure to ask your doctor before you start limiting your husbands diet.

One third of tongue removed 10-4-07. 5-23-08 chemo started for tumor behind swallowing passage, Our good friend and much loved OCF member Minnie has been lost to the disease (RIP 10-29-08). We will all miss her greatly.
