    Procedure or Surgery (Surgery to remove cancer that has spread): surgery went 15 hours to remove cancer and do reconstruction on my face....lost all nerves in left side of face, and mouth only opened about an inch...still like that...hard to move food around while eating, and I have to eat much more slowly and pay attention to avoid accidental choking.
