Hi Colleen,
I am so glad that you found my experiences helpful. In answer to your new questions. Yes, I had cancer and reconstruction surgery at the same time. My entire lower jaw was replaced. With that in mind I don't think which fibula was used was important. The numb area on the top of my foot is very small and only noticeable when I touch the rest of the top of my foot. It just feels different than the rest of the top of my foot. On an everyday basis I don't even know it is there. Hopefully, this answers your questions. Should you or anyone else have any more questions please ask. I don't mind sharing. I think the hardest part of my cancer and surgery experience was the fear of the unknown. I didn't find this site until I was undergoing radiation. Anyway------

Best of Luck,
