Md. Abdus Salam, Oral cavity cancer


Md. Abdus Salam, a 46-year-old farmer, from Lalmonirhat, Rangpur, developed cancer in his lower jaw and mouth cavity for last three years. The cancer also involved the chin and neck. It was a very painful experience and he was unable to eat properly. He came to us six months ago. We undertook an 11-hour long operation on him. In this procedure, a total excision of his lower jaw was done and we constructed a new jaw using the bone from his leg and chest muscle in order to cover the gap in the neck. The total treatment was free of cost and the foundation gave him financial support to complete his radiation treatment after surgery. However, at this point in time, he is still in need of more support.
