I am very fortunate, l have been told by my consultant that he is confident he can remove the tumour by removing half of my left jaw. He will rebuild using titanium and a skin graft from my left arm.

I really thought the surgery would have happened by now. My pain has increased significantly - l now have a hole in my bottom left cheek inside my mouth and l am finding the pain hard to cope with.

I have emailed the Head and neck team at the hospital l will have surgery,  but because of Easter, they won't see it until tomorrow.

I feel, l need to get stronger medication from my G.P especially if l don't make the list for surgery on 13th April. I really have felt the last couple of days, I'm not going to make it and l am in a lot of pain at the moment, how can l possibly cope post-surgery?
