Hi all,

Wife will have surgery for squamus cell tumor in lower gum. Doc says we found it in time. They say 7-10 days in the hospital with some bone removal. Surgical site will be filled with bone from leg.
She will have radiation after bone heals. God willing she'll be OK

Thanks again to the posters who helped me, her husband, get through the first three days after diagnosis. It was a very trying time for both of us

Wife is 57 years old. Diagnosed May 30,2009 after oral surgeon did a biopsy. Wife had surgery on June 23,2009. Surgeon took piece from arm after removing squamus mass from lower gum
