Jules, welcome to OCF. Im sure you will find some questions or maybe even be able to assist someone else. This is a great forum where everyone helps each other weather its with medical info or moral support.

Im sorry but Im not the best with abbreviations. What is RFFF and MRND ? I think the last 2 letters of the 2nd one are neck dissection and maybe the Fs are free flap????

Best of luck with your recurrance. They are never easy but it can be done.
