Im sorry to read of your latest problems. One thing to remember is that surgeons cut, thats what they do. Once a part is removed nothing is ever as good as the original when you begin moving parts of your body around.

My recommendation would be to go to a cancer center where you will have a whole team helping to plan your treatment. A cancer center is where they will have the most experience treating others like yourself instead of a smaller facility where they may see only a handful of cases per year.

Cancer Centers

Best wishes with everything!!!
