Hi All,
I've been lurking for a couple weeks now. It's great to see the support you have all provided to eachother.
Completed my second neck resection 2 weeks ago and have my first appointment with my RO tomorrow. Well, second actually - the first time I met him before my initial surgery he had said it was premature for us to meet and that I didn't need radiation - really hoping he says the same thing tomorrow but know that's highly unlikely!
I think I have a distinct disadvantage/advantage here - I am a speech pathologist and have worked with Pt's with HNCa- HATE that I am now a Pt myself but I am comforted to see that I am in very good company.
I imagine some of us will become friends here.
