Joined: Jun 2002 Posts: 194 | Hi, I have not been back to the board in some time, and I just wanted to drop a line and let you all know I am well and cancer free. I have had all my plastic surgery, and now finished with dental work. I look good compared to what I did.There are still scars and some indents where jaw bone removed and flap had failed.There definately is life after cancer. Good luck to all of you
