Dear Members,
I feel happy to become a member of this group. I am a Medical Oncologist from India and had developed Cancer of the Cheek. I underwent surgery for the same which included a wide excision with a Palatal flap as well as a skin graft.I also underwent an elective neck dissection on 2nd of August 2007. I am 41 years old with my wife and 2 lovely kids. I had the misfortune of bleeding twice from my facial artery after my main surgery and had to undergo two more surgeries for the same in short succession.
Anyway I have overcome my depression and fear to a large extent and I sincerely thank my wife and my friends for the same. I have problems with mouth opening and cannot eat solids yet. I am still happy about the fact that it was removed in toto and am slowly starting to resume my work
