Tumor was on palate, but it spread onto cheek.
There is some stitching and white filler substance.
Anything I can do to speed up healing or improve.

I am cleaning with salt and baking soda solution; water pick in the last month and just rinsing in the beginning.

I would ask your doctor about Hyberbarric Oxygen therapy to see if it would help. I had to have it for a different reason but saw a lot of healing from it in other areas affected by my surgery and treatment. As always though, your doctor will know best.
