Can anyone provide any information on this type of cancer? My father has been diagnosed with this a few days ago. I do not have all information as of yet as they are still running tests. But they have already scheduled a surgery for next Friday to remove a portion of his mandabile bone and replace this bone with the fibula bone (sorry if I am spelling these things wrong)I am looking to find out any and all information from someone who has experienced this type of cancer. They are stating that it is over a 12 hour surgery. I would like to know how bad this type of cancer is? What stage is it if they are doing this type of operation? What is the prognosis, recovery etc.
