Oh, no, I deleted my post! Thank you Christine. We are helping review the standards for head and neck cancer treatment in our local area in New Zealand. Wondering about plastic surgery/reconstruction and also dental prosthetics etc. We have a lovely little site in New Zealand now but I always refer to OCF when out of my depth because of the expertise and volume of people.


1996, ovarian cancer surgery + cisplatin and taxol.
September, 2007, SCC of left lateral tongue. Excision.
October, 2009 recurrence in scar tissue, T1NOMO. Free flap surgery from left wrist - neck dissection. 63 year old New Zealander. No chemo, no RT.
February, 2014. New primary in left buccal mucosa. Marginal mandibulectomy, neck dissection, right arm free forearm flap. T1N0M0 but third occurrence and some areas of concern: RT started 8 April and finished 19 May.
