Charm

The surgery that you have outlined sounds very similar to the surgery that I had in April 2007, including the jaw split and bilateral neck dissection, nerve and vein in neck.

Did you doctors give you any details about a tracheotomy?

If you have any questions that you think I might be able to assist with based on my experience please do not hesitate to ask of alternatively send me a PM
