Hello Jennifer,

I had my jaw split to allow access to my tumor on my right tonsil. It was not as bad as i thought it would be. I was home in 8 days after surgery. Also the scar is not to bad. Gets better as each month passes. While it's no walk in the park I know you will do fine.
As Mark said take each day as you can and soon this will be behind you.
Hoping your treatment goes well and you have a complete recovery!!

Best Wishes, Danny Boy
