Hi Friends and Family,
This Tuesday, February 19th is Bob's surgery date.
He will have a left mandibular resection and removal of 4 metastatic nodes in his neck, a full fibular flap transplant to his jaw (bone, muscles, vascular structures) and facial reconstruction. His doctor told us it would take 7 doctors a total of 12 hours to complete the surgery.
He'll be in University of Miami Hospital for an estimated 7-10 days, 2 of those in the ICU. As soon as he gets out of the unit, they'll have him up and walking.
Prayers, healing vibes and well-wishes are greatly appreciated.
I'll keep you posted...
Liz
I just got this update from my friend Liz re. her husband's cancer in his jaw and associated areas. :(
