Hi everyone! So, after weeks of waiting and almost 2 months from the diagnosis of my boyfriends recurring oral cancer, we check into Moffitt tomorrow morning at 5:15 a.m.. So many emotions are being felt at the moment - nervous, scared,excited to finally start a new journey to get my boyfriend back to the healthy and happy person I fell in love with. I know life will not be back to the old normal, and there will be a lot of things to get used to. I just feel happy to finally be able to see progress to get rid of this horrible thing we call cancer.

On Monday we had our consult with his surgical team. Impressive does not even start to describe how amazing they are. I have no doubt he is in the best hands and by skilled and very caring people. I know they will give. Him the best chances to beat this and thrive as much as possible

Again this forum and everyone that has given a kind word or advise has been beyond helpful and I know our journey will be made easier with this support.

Danielle
