Hi Bobby,

I had a flap reconstruction in August 03. They used my right side chest pech muscle to reconstruct my throat. The other flap I'm aware of is when they take part of your forearm and use that to rebuild your throat. They then take a piece of skin from your theigh to cover the forearm. It's not as bad as it sounds.

I was eating soft foods within 3 to 4 weeks. I am eating most foods except bread now.

Good luck with your treatment,

Danny Boy
