I was offered the opportunity to participate at MDACC and opted not to. The usual trial nurse was not available to explain the study to me and my support team. The substitute did more to alarm me than to make me feel like it was well advised. Sometimes there is just too much information coming at you at once. I don't regret not participating at this point but then my post surgical outcome was different than most.


Cancer of Tongue, SCC early Stage 1, Dx 3/13/07, partial glossectomy 4/14/07 found no residual carcinoma and a granular cell tumor with pseudo epitheliomatous hyperplasia.
