Dear friends,

I am meeting with my MO & RO team at Mass General tomorrow. I'm wondering if any of you that have gone through a recurrence and/or chemo/rads for oropharyngeal cancer have any suggested questions I should ask during the session. My mind is like scrambled eggs right now. I always right things down in "cancer notebook". I know I have to sit down tonight and sort out my questions, but I would greatly appreciate your input.

Thanks so much,
Kerri
