I'm sorry to hear that you have to go with Plan B, Denise. Oh well. I will mention that in some cases of post-radiation surgery, the surgeons can leave a bit of dead tumor on the facial nerve, reducing the risk of anything facial happening. Sort of like debulking and then radiation, only in reverse order. Must be optimistic until you know otherwise.

Best wishes in advance for your upcoming surgery.
