OK, I just called and the lady answering the phone said "Medications to shrink cancer" but didn't know anything more than that -- Sounds like chemo to me -- She will have the producer return my call and I will post more info as I get it.
I told her that most head-neck surgery is internal, but that a free-flap has visuals, like where Dr Haakenslash's Cut-Throat Team did just that, the tissue donor site, the skin donor site and finally, hair on the tongue.
