hi everyone
I had surgery for oral cancer on January 31, 2002 - a piece of my tongue was removed and I had a neck disection - radiation followed with a peg put in for four months. All of that is over and I survived great.
Sometimes it bothers me to eat - but its ok
I had a minor scare when I felt a small lump under my neck again (opposite of surgery) my doctor said it was okay - he'll keep checking it.
My new problem is dental - I went to a dentist a few months ago and she really did not know how to treat my teeth - she said she would check and get back to me. Never did - maybe she just forgot.
Does anyone out there know of a dentist in the Bronx who has dealt with oral cancer patients - if anyone does please email me at
