I had the neck dissection the same day they took part of my tongue. Never had rad or chemo . Now that OC has come back on both sides of my tongue, I sure wonder why I never had Rad& Chemo before this reoccurence. NOw it's implant time and lose the teeth time. I wonder if this could have been prevented.

Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
