Hello,
I have just been tols that I have T1 oral cancer. This is the 3rd go round for me. The first was cancer on the tongue, then a year later a lymph gland and the muscle on the same side. It has been 7 years since the last inconvienance and now its back. I have kept a possative attitude through everything in the past. However, this time it is more difficult. The doctors have said my only option is to have surgery. Radiation is not an option because I have had that already as part of the treatment for one of the previous go-rounds. The radiation caused many complications and that seems to prevent any further use of it as well.
All the reading I have been doing that past couple of days does not give me much encouragement on a long term survival rate, 5 years at best. I am hoping that someone can tell me this is not true.
Thanks
David
