I met a guy yesterday who had the same cancer, same surgery followed by radiation and he has had no recurrence and is a nine year survivor. He looked great, scars were minimal, great attitude, even kept all his teeth, etc. And that was nine years ago when the state of the art wasn't what is is today. I asked him to post in the survivor section. Hang in there buddy!
