Eileen,
I know you've gotten my private posts, but wanted to you and others to know that once you get the diaognosis of breast cancer the docs have tons of material and background info to pass on to you at your first informational meeting. I had a 4 hour meeting the first time I met my docs: 1 hours team nurse, 1 hour oncologist, 1 hour radiaologist, 1 hour surgeon. Breast cancer seems to be more informationaly organized complete with pink bags to carry to stuff home in. Oral cancer not so much info. I think they gave me one very small pamphlet! If I hadn't had this forum for find out information I would never left my bed!!

Treatment really is 180 degrees different that what you've been through!! You CAN do this, too! Love, Kris
