Thanks everyone! WOW it's so much to process!!! I am confident on the choice of sticking with MDA, afterall they have been the most thorough with my treatment. All the doctors that I have seen would have done relatively the same surgery. After meeting with them yesterday, it appears that they are only going to take out the ramus of the mandible, which I thought they were going to take half of my jawbone, so this is better. Chemo did not work because my CA is slow growing and chemo doesn't work as effective as it would with a fast growing CA. THe tumor is too massive for rad alone, so not having surgery is not an option. I wish it was!! It's a scary time, I will do anything to make sure I am here for my little girls!!!!
