Georgia, Have to tell you to keep the faith I truly believe I am still here today because of that and family and friends! I'm a 2x survivor. I first had my left manidable removed in 85, after radiation in 82, for spot on tongue. It did not come out again until 2004. I was beenng preoped for next day surgury and they came in and told me no go. My lungs were full and no scense putting me through jaw bone removal if my lungs were full! I then had biosy on lungs and it turned out to be fungus! Very common is some people. Well I'm here to tell you I did have the jaw surgury and mind you there is a lot of complications, but I am stll here today! Just get it rechecked and fight hard for your life! I did! Miss Vicki
