Tommy,

as many here, I'm living a very similar story. It's a great place to find support, advice, resources and tons of information. I just wish we were all hanging out at a picnic and discussing something less dreadful.

Best of luck with your treatment, and don't shy away from asking anything, we've all been here, and we've all traveled the road you're about to embark upon. It's scary, it's not easy, physically or emotionally, but I thank god every day for coming across an amazing group of surgeons, oncologists, nurses, speech/swallow specialists, and support from family, friends, and people here.

One piece of advice - never turn down anyone's offers to help with anything.
