Hi Jules,
Now for my official welcome to OCF..Hope I was not being too pushy!
I am so glad to see that you have posted and even though you may not have any specific questions at this stage you will know where to come when you do. Sorry to see that you are going through this again and I wish you all the very best for your surgery on the 24th. Let us know how it goes or if you need information from the many knowledgeable people here beforehand. Love that your signature recognises that you have good stuff going on too.
When is your baby due to be born?
Now I have another question for you. You mention that the recurrence is in the same place and that you also had a Radial Forearm Free Flap (as I did). Whereabouts is this scar tissue?
Ms Gabriele wink
