So this will be short as I’m exhausted and in pain. It’s not fun but the surgeon believes they removed all the cancer. The surgical margins were clear but it will be 2-3 weeks for the final pathology. Surgery was around 12 hours. The cancer had spread to the jawbone and skin so it’s a massive face reconstruction. They used bone, artery, tissue and skin graft from right leg. Honestly, I’m a mess. Right now the priority is for the tissue transfer to be accepted. They say it’s okay, but the colour and feel is concerning. Praying it will not be rejected. I’m miserable a lot of the day but know that after day 7 things should get better. Having my sisters here is extraordinary. Trying to have only positive expectations and trust God will bring me through. Thanks for your support, it is tremendously encouraging and important. At some point I’ll respond to your kind notes but right now I’m just trying to get through the days. It’s a long haul yet but I’m endeavouring to look ahead with hope.
Thanks
