hi folks,i jump on and off this site, i read a lot of things and let them sink in.
I havent had chemo like many of you seem to have had, my cancer doesnt respond well to chemo, so major facial surgery was the road i went down,hence so far i havent put a picture on my profile,i have a prosthetic nose and beleive you me what a difference it makes to me, not having to wear dressings on my face and being more normal ( ignoring the prats out there),anyway 1 of my main implants for holding the prosthesis on failed so ive got a temporary set up at the moment ( have done for the last 12 months),have now had stage 1 of 2 to insert new implant, anyway new consultant arrived at my local hospital, friend of my original consultant surgeon, he wants me to go see a proffesor he trained under to see what he thinks to see if they can do a reconstruction, ive already been told once that surgery was too extensive for a rebuild,and have accepted everything so far, but somewhere down there is a little bit of wishfull thinking, especially when you read about some of the things they have done in america, anyway ive nothing to lose i can always listen and see what the man says, so i suppose somewhere out there is a little strand blowing around that we all wish to grab onto no matter how frail the hope.
all the best to everyone warm wishes. ski
