Hi everyone, 

8 weeks ago I had an operation to remove cancer from my gums, palate and cheekbone. My facial muscle was cut leaving me with numbness in that area. I am worried I won't regain a reasonable opening of my mouth. I am aware that with RT it could become worse. If anyone has experience of good recovery of mouth opening could you please tell me how it was for you.  The speech and language team are wonderful and have ordered me a thereabite kit. My appointment is next week to try this. This is making me anxious hence my request for positive results.

Thank you

Alison
