Hello all,

So spent all day yesterday in the whirlwind called pre-op.The plan seems "simple" enough...basically repeat the surgery from 19 years ago. Remove my left arm implant and and replace with a fore arm or thigh flap and hope for the best that the margins around my "good" tongue are fine. No "current" plans for RADS at this time (I am praying). Another PEG and TRAC....may be less hospital time as techniques have improved. As it turns out the mystery of how the SCC got on my implant is now x 2 as another survivor of 15 years exact same deal and same history post -op has been found to have SCC on the implant. Guess the research department needs to check this out! More to follow...no surgery date for just over 2 weeks.Thanks for the support....
