Things moved so fast.

Told it was cancer on 7/30, biopsy confirmed on 8/7.
Initial oncology discussion 8/14.
Surgery scheduled for 9/22. Removal of 4 teeth, part of hard palate, reconstruction with skin flap from forearm.

It goes without saying, I'm worried/scared.

Sorry UkuleleDude,

I hope your surgery went well and your pain is well controlled in recovery and are figuring everything out and adjusting as well as you can.

Best wishes for you in a speedy recovery and figuring out a new normal and keeping your chin up and all that!
