Lisa, i'm from the san antonio area too and had a similar diagnosis as your husband. Your diagnosis to treatment time looks to be extremely fast compared to most of us. I found my lump in october of '08, diagnosed 11/11 and treatment started in mid-december - nearly 60 days.

I checked out MD Anderson, but chose to use CTRC in San Antonio because it is also a CCC.

As far as anxiety goes, my wife and i both were taking zanax from the day of diagnosis until the first day of treatment. When we felt like we were fighting back the anxiety seemed to subside.

Your husband, like me, is lucky to have a fighter like you on his side. I don't know how i could have got through it without my wife there for me. I, like your husband, quit surfing for answers once i got the diagnosis. My wife kept looking and would only tell me the good stuff. I found this site during my treatment by searching for "oral cancer survivors" to avoid any bad stats.

I PMed you my phone number if you want to talk about my san antonio experience i would be more than happy to tell you whatever i can to help.
