Thanks Brian and everyone who has posted back to me. Happy New Year!

I decided to go with John Hopkins and am being scheduled for surgery on the 15th. They will do a similar surgery as described above. They will remove teeth, the outer portion of bone in my jaw under the teeth removed. They will excise the cancer areas BOM but also recommend removing about half of my tongue. They will reconstruct using bone from a leg and tissue as well as tissue from a forearm.
They are calling this my last best chance at removing all of the cancer.
I still do not know if this is cancer that was left after last surgery or something new. I am assuming it was left because a skin graft there never looked like it healed correctly. A dentist told me it looked like it was 2 weeks old after a surgery when it was close to 6 months old.

I guess I should move this conversation to the recurrance forum
