Brek,
I have a buddy that had surgery on his upper lip several years ago. He changed to a bigger mouthpiece and moved the embouchure slightly to the side and everything was ok. He now needs about an hour to warm up. He mostly plays the chorus book in the big band. He can play high, but can't stay up there as long as he used to. Below high C there is no loss of playing ability. In fact he is playing a gig for me this weekend: Bach Cantata 51, Handel the trumpet shall sound+halleluja and a smaller cantata by the baroque composer anonymous.

The only advice that I can give you is the standard get references and a second opinion before the knife hits your lips. Maybe there is a radiation alternative?

We are rooting for you!
