Amy,
Yes, I had the full meal deal done, all at once. 17 hours on the table, they removed the tumor and the inside of my mouth on the left of the tongue, rebuilt the jaw with fibula and titanium, took tissue grafts from my forearm for reconstructing the inside of my mouth, and then skin grafts from my thighs to close up the donor sites on my arm and leg.

Although I dreaded the extended time in surgery, in retrospect it was all done at once, no partial healing and then more surgery
