I’m glad to hear that in a year everything will be gone, but it must be so scary knowing you have a tumor in your <a href="http://downtowndental.livejournal.com/23007.html" rel="nofollow">jaw</a>. I am glad you are making it through, though.

I had oral surgery in early 2012 (they removed a tauri) and that took several weeks to heal up; I can only imagine how evasive that your surgery has been. <br /><br />I'll be back on Sepia Saturday very soon. I'm back to working hard on my Early Oregon stuff and am planning several books.<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />Kathy M.Oregon Gifts of Comfort and Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07171271956883698673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743429387466266100.post-18364455804599880482014-07-09T07:15:57.057-07:002014-07-09T07:15:57.057-07:00I send my best to you, too...jaw pain is brutal (a...I send my best to you, too...jaw pain is brutal (anything involving mouth/jaw/teeth is brutal as far as I'm concerned).

My jawbone, too, was destroyed by this tumor, but they say my body will generate enough new bone to allow for cryotherapy in a year or so. I feel like I've dodged a bullet, as we say. It will be a long year, but I'll be fine at the end! Thanks for your thoughts!

The operation left her with that portion of her jaw bone the mere thickness of a fingernail. But over time, the bone grew back and the tumor never reappeared, nor did she develop any other, and she is now 96 with a very firm jaw - in many ways. :)) I don't know if her doctors, back then, knew what caused the tumor to form. But yours do, and today's knowledge and expertise on the matter is so much better than back then, so I believe you have an excellent chance for a full recovery.
