Sugery team/Tumor board will come back with attack plan after reviewing scans. After completing RT 1/09 I felt the tiredness and other simptoms for months. I went back to work ASAP after surgery, but had to leave early for a month or so, I felt so worn out.
I just joined this board, worring about #1 due to my reoccuarnce. I am scarred to death of going through surgery again, but doesn't look like I have much choice in the matter.
57 YO, Dx 10/08 with oral cancer, Surgery 11/08 followed by six weeks of RT treatment with the MASK. Follow up on 10/15/09 found a soft spot, which turned out to be SCC. Don't know if I can receive more radiation or not since I've already received full dose.
