My significant other has stage 4 floor of mouth cancer which has spread to his lymph nodes and jawbone. He’s scheduled for a mandibulectomy with fibula free flap in a few weeks. Can anyone tell me what the recovery is like and what is the quality of life after this surgery? This all progressed rapidly and the doctors gave us very little information. I want to know what he can expect and what I should plan for as his caregiver. Thank you in advance for any info you can share. I’m a nervous wreck.
