Leila welcome! Who are you asking your question to?

Please understand what one patient experiences another patient who on paper appears almost identical can have the exact opposite symptoms, reactions, etc. On our website you will see this phrase ... everybody's different. Its soooo true when it comes to oral cancer, treatments, recovery, recurrences, etc. For example... two patients who are the same age, sex, height, weight, similar lifestyles, tumor stage and location, even treated at the same facility can have completely different reactions to their treatments and recovery. One could sail right thru with barely anything more bothersome than a scratchy throat while the other patient could struggle every step of the way. This comes down to even more variables such as their family bloodlines and genetic predisposition. Im sorry if this doesnt help to answer your question. If you can please post some of your basic info in a new post in the Introduce Yourself section Im sure we would be able to help you with what you want to know.
