Good Evening,
I had a rare kind of salivary gland cancer three years ago which required two surgeries. I didn't heal well and my surgeon says the scarring is the worst he's ever seen. I have nerve damage too which means I can't chew food and am in pain 24/7. Have tried numerous medications. I've just been given a date for a surgery to remove the scarring (which goes from my tragus down to mid neck) and for a free flap from my thigh to be popped in. I've been told it'll be a 10 hour op and 10 days in hospital. And I'm terrified. I could potentially live another lifetime- but I can't imagine doing that in all this pain. But I'm also so frightened of the surgery. Has anyone had anything similar?
thank you for reading
