So sorry to hear you have another mountain to climb. You have found a great place for helping you get through this.
I am just starting treatment but I may need a free flap. Free flaps can come from different parts of the body, depending on which type of flap is required. There are 33 doner areas on the body for free flaps. My MO said he would take mine from the chest area. Explain your situation to the Doctors and they may be able to use another doner area and exclude the arms altogether.
Wishing and Praying for You. Good Luck, Petey
