It makes me feel much more calm. We live in Fairview, North Jersey. Today I went to Hackensack Medical Center because they return a voice message I left yesterday requesting information on their Cancer Center. I also requested a New Patient Appointment at the Cancer Institute of New Jersey through their website. My dad was away in Ecuador and my mom made him go to the doctor there to check those sores. This evening she also send me the diagnostic results and the doctors in Ecuador say he has 2 tumors, carcinoma squamous cells of 1 and 2 cms respectively in the posterior part of his tongue, they also said it has spread in the lymph nodes. So I will start by going tomorrow to the other hospitals I have called to get a screening here... Thank you so much again. I will read carefully all the information you have provided me with. Thank you again... I will continue posting and updating our progress. Thank you for making me feel so welcome... Best wishes,
Benfry
