I have survived since 6/12/98. My 5 year mark comes up very shortly. I was 32 when diagnosed with a stage 4 tumor of the mandible/floor of mouth. My 1st free flap (from leg) failed and I was recontructed with a pectoral graft five days later. The pectoral graft was successful. I have had 5 surgeries since for follow-up reconstruction. So, far cancer free and hope the very best for others as well !
