I have trouble with my scars. My jaw does not move with my face since part of it is missing. I still try to talk with the best of um. I worry sometimes about my job because of the way that I look. But,this is how I look so I just go on. I am mad some days because they did not find any cancer in my jawbone but took it anyway. Then, the next day I am so grateful that they did and that I am even alive. It is like Jeckle and Hyde in my head. You cannot cover the scars on your face like scars on other parts of your body. It is hard to look in the mirror sometimes, but it is good to be alive.

Had 14 hour operation which included reconstruction of jaw.
Reconstruction failed. Some radiation, no chemo.
