I go for surgery this Fri the 3rd of august , in the James Cancer at Ohio State. I sure liked what this Dr told me compared to the one at WVU in Morgantown. I was told that my cancer is treatable with good chance of recovery after receiving all the treatments. Might just have a trach until i come home and will have a feeding tube thro my nose into my stomache. Man I feel so much better and thank all of you for the good advice.. Jim


Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
