UPDATE
« on: April 09, 2009, 06:55:15 AM »
My son in law, Paul martinez had seven + hours of surgery yesterday at Houston's MD Anderson hospital.
About three weeks ago he discovers a lump on his jaw. By the time he saw an Oncologist at MD Anderson it was the size of a small grapefruit.
A needle biopsy was negative but the Oncologist was not sure that it was a good biopsy because of the size and, at any rate it needed removing.
They cut his jaw bone and seperated the jaw to get at the tumor---removing all four wisdom teeth in the process. At least he was out for the wisdom teeth---I wasn't for mine.
The surgeon said, guardedly, that the tumor appeared clean but another biopsy was was done.
He will be in the hospital for a week.
Hopefully the tumor is benine.
Blessings

Prayers and thoughts are with him.  Rather suspect his face will be swollen for sometime.  He was wise to get it taken care of quickly.

Prayers going out to him.  I pray that we soon find a cure for all cancers.  There is probably not one of us here who has not been personally effected either directly or threw a close friend or relative by this dreaded disease.  All you ever hear about is AIDS but the number of people effected by AIDS is minuscule compared to the number effected by cancer.   If I'm not mistaken the latest statistic is something like one in four people will get some form of cancer during their lifetime.

Yep, sad to say if you live long enough it wont be "if" you get cancer it will be when you get it!
