Unfortunately I only have 5 min now to reply but will send more soon. (About to go in to a training course)
  1.	I hope that people reply to your post where we can all read it as I am sure it is of interest to a lot of us here. 2.	I am sure my doctors in Sydney told me that you could not get cancer on the flap !!!
  Love Gabriele
