Mine was in the left Maxilla too. The tumor was almost 5.7cm so they had to remove all the top left teeth from #9 - #15. Stanford Head & Neck oncologist did the reconstruction from left leg bone (fibula free flap) because he thought that fits well with my left maxilla, then they had to do more margins next to the reconstructed bone when they found another tumor near the skull base.
If you don't mind me asking @therock, do you live close to Rochester? I am going to Stanford and Stanford is just 12 miles away for me. I was thinking about Mayo too, but worried about travel & stay logistics while getting treatment.
