Hi and thanks for the welcome - you were the first to respond to my intro! I think I was reading one of Brian Hill's responses to others asking "Where are the long term survivors - are there any!? And he said that though there probably aren't as many as we'd like (and that's why we're here to support each other using this forum) that there are long term survivors who have just moved on. I decided that we can never afford to just move on - whatever life experience - and cancer is a "life experience" - we're dealing with - it helps to know that other people have come out on the other side. I look forward to getting to know other survivors who are just trying to make it through each day just like me and you! Make sure you trust your medical team - my oral surgeon was a pitbull and was not well liked because he was 100 % pro-patient. I'm living proof that he put me first. Make sure you feel confident with those providing your treatment and follow-up
