I went in for my first surgery 11/3/08, I laid my smoking down at the front door and never looked back.
I also was a heavy smoker for 40-45 years.

When this cancer came along, it was like God smaking me in the back of the head and saying, "are you going to listen, now?"....That was enough for me.....

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.
