Oral Cancer

Posted by Milroybum25 @milroybum25, Nov 9, 2017

I had surgery back on January 31 to remove a cancerous tumor from my jawbone. It was a 14 hour surgery to remove the tumor from the jawbone and reconstruct the jaw with skin and bone from my leg. I had over 35 lymph nodes removed, a tooth, and nerves. After surgery I had a feeding tube and a trache. After those came out, I started 6 weeks of radiation, 5 days a week. It has been a long journey and I still don’t feel good but I am blessed to be cancer free.
