Chris,

FYI U Penn is one of the best facilities in the country for oral cancer treatment. I got my second opinion from them and I'm in Michigan. If you have a chance check in with them.

Also. Eat Eat Eat. you are going to be facing radiation treatment and it will be hard eating later. Take this chance to get as much additional weight on you as possible.
