I'm still opposed to taking the jaw, so hopefully this will make his remaining months even more comfortable.
(see how his lower jaw projects ahead of his nose. It's totally gross.) |
Sounds a looks like he's happy so stay with the program...glad its given him so much more life... I would be goosey about taking the jaw too.
Sad...I have a good friend in SF who just retired. He was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma...hot one...at the base of his tongue... He's had chemo and rads and is in so much pain he can hardly eat or even swallow. Radiation burn most likely but who knows if it stirred up the tumor as well. SQC in the mouth is very bad. Life just ain't fair sometimes...
