sorry ... I meant to say my son's friend is doing fine without reconstructive surgery.

son's friend had OC 7 years ago. He's a public speaker, & his thoughts, prior to surgery, were on reconstructive surgery. He says he's doing fine.
Marginal mandibulectomy 6/17/08 resulted in DX of Stage I SCC - gingiva (3 mm) right mandible, buccal side. Clear margins. Occasional social drinker. Smoked last cigarette in 1979. Clear pet: 12/08; 7/20/09. Yay!
