Hi Jerry,

I went to Fox Chase first but then decided to go with Jefferson University because they presented the forearm free flap. I was worried about regaining my full speech so the free flap seemed like a good option. I also liked the fact that Jefferson had a plastic surgeon doing the reconstruction.

Glad to see you are a 4 year survivor. Reading all of the statistics are really scary for oral cancer. Curious if you changed something in your lifestyle...diet, exercise, etc?
