Hello. My name is Steve. I'm 67 years old and was recently diagnosed a couple days ago with verrucous carcinoma on the roof of my mouth. They tell me I need to do surgery at UCSF And have an inferior Maxillectomy and an obturator placement. Seems really scary to me, especially since I've had Parkinson's disease for several years. I'm considering my options and started researching today. Who has had the surgery? What are the aftereffects? Is it worth it? Does the cancer come back? I have so many questions and I'm afraid. Please reach out to me and share your experiences. Thank you
