margaret, i was told by our ent surgeon that papa's surgery might end up removing such a small area as to make your type of reconstruction unnedded. but now after seeing that you had only 30-40% removed and papa will likely have at least as much removed, this is a red flad for us to try hard to find a surgeon with experience in this kind of reconstruction. if you would be so kind as to provide us with your surgeons name, as a last effort we might even have our own surgeon contact has as a consultant on the matter. a private messgae will reach me faster or you can email [email protected]

thanks and god bless.
