What is your quality of life after a partial maxillectomy?

Thank you so much 😊 we are having regular visits.
Does anyone have experience with there being a positive surgical margin after the surgery, including nodes affected and perinural invasion?
Would be interesting to hear of people’s outcomes and how much time the surgery alone gave them. Or whether all that can still share experiences had both radiation and chemotherapy?
Thanks in advance

@coolcakes I see I'm a year late (sorry! perhaps it might help someone else) -- husband just had HPV small palate surgery on 3/23/26 and so far positive surgical margin for 2cm T1. They removed all lymph nodes for precaution. No radiation or chemo needed at this point. It was a choice to go with surgery or radiation and from going through this Mayo site we found the surgery an easier option. So far so good and crossing fingers...
