All the hard work in going thru radiation and chemo and now my dad needs to have the lower left jaw bone removed. They are taking a piece of his leg bone and putting in the jaw. They are also taking skin from his leg for his face. They will be putting a trach in for a few days and then ween him from it. (my understanding)

HELP!!!

Has anyone gone thru this? Can you eat? Talk? Walk? Please let me know what you have gone thru and how long ago you had it done, recoup time and any other information you can share, so my family can be prepared for this surgery.

Thank you!
