I have only been fighting oral cancer for a year and a half now. Doesn't seem to bad but I am on my 2nd recurrence. My 2nd recurrence popped up only a month and a half after radiation and chemo. I don't understand how it came back so quickly but I was going to have surgery again. They were going to remove the tumor, redo my tongue for the fifth time, plus take out my jaw and any skin that was over the tumor. They were going to take it all. Then I get a call. The cancer has spread. They found two spots of cancer in my neck now. Which makes them believe the cancer has spread all through my neck. Surgery is no longer an option. Its spread to much and it will just keep coming back. I asked the doctor what my odds were, they aren't good anymore at all. The only thing we have left to fight this thing is radiation, any chemos we find that fight this thing and any new trials we can find. My chances have dropped so low and I am honestly scared to death. But I refuse to have fought this thing so much already, I refuse to let it win. I am going to beat this, I am only 22 years old and I have a 2 year old little girl. I have my whole life ahead of me and I have this child I have to be here to raise. Has anyone else gone through this? How many times has anyone here had to fight this thing? Who here has beat it without surgery? Is it even possible to beat it without removing all the tumors and things first? If you have gone through this and are beating it, what did you have done what kind of treatment or drug helped you beat this? If you have any information please let me know. If you like to just share your story with me please do.
