Checked with surgeon and radiation will not be a problem. I have had some dental work also with no problems. My only concern is how it may effect my flap. Wishing someone had some experience in this area. Apparently, the muscles are usually severed during intial surgery, however I had a failed flalp and had to have emergency surgery...almost did not make it. I am sure they wanted to give me every chance at the time, which should make it ok now to do it. Just checking to see if anyone had any knowledge in that area...


Partial mandibulectomy and neck dissection 2/3/07. T2NOMO.
Had 14 hour operation which included reconstruction of jaw.
Reconstruction failed. Some radiation, no chemo.
