Just discovered site after hospital visit today. Had successful operation for floor of mouth cancer RH side. Removal of Lymph nodes, 5 teeth and flap from donar site left wrist between tongue and where teeth were. Have taken heaps of photo's of my mouth, neck, since operation since Sep 2006. Have now had 3 operations since on the flap to reduce bulk all under general. Still a problem since the last Op 4 weeks ago with granulation between tongue and flap. Today it was cauterised with a silver nitrate stick. Will go back next week for more of the same.
Just wanted to say hi and wondered if there is anyone one else from Australia? Will spend a bit more time over next days having a good look a the site. Was looking for something like this for the last 10 months.
