Joanna,

Thank you for your post. I have taken a while to get back to everyone because I have been so busy. Sorry about that.

I am so happy that you have healed. My moms surgery is in three weeks and I am very nervous. She already did this once. They took bone from her leg and made a jaw and took tissue before for her gum. They are going to remove the tumor and then take tissue from her hip and make gums. Then, she has to do 6 weeks of radiation. I am more scared of the radiation because She has never done that before and the sweet supportive people in this web site have been telling me what to expect. The side effects seem very extreme.

Joanna, I hope you are feeling well now and thanks for your support. God Bless YOU!!!!!!!!!!
