Hi All Been a long time. I missed so much ! Sorry everyone for my absence.
My husband is a five year survivor and I have been off the boards for a while. He has necrosis from radiation (at least we hope that is all it is won't know for sure till bioposy during surgery) ANYWAY it seems he is going to be facing a surgery . He is awaiting scheduling. He will have a piece of his jaw bone removed they estimate about 3 cm
and a graft from his fibula. I am not finding a whole lot of information on what to expect post op? How long in the hospital, Recovery, eating etc any info would be appreciated
