I had my treatment for oral tongue cancer at MDA. I had partial glossectomy, rads, chemo, finished everything Feb, 2011. They provide a lot of resources for you, but lots of folks don't take full advantage. They are probably either not feeling well (understand that)including fatigue, or mentally depressed (understand that as well). But if people would take advantage of some of the things offered at the medical center they would likely feel better. I had an apartment & stayed there with a couple of my sister-in-laws helping me out for several weeks. My husband flew in on weekends. It worked well. I took daily walks, either outside or inside the medical center as they have nice places to walk inside.

Best,
Anne
