I had a local Oncologist tell me that I needed rads and chemo but listened to one from a bigger and better known CCC. He said just surgery. Then told me he had gotten the cancer and just I needed follow up visits. About 3 weeks later , after another biospy, I was told I needed rads and chemo as the OC was back. The 1st Oncologist I saw did the rads and chemo, then had my teeth removed for Rad seed implants. No fun then or now as I hurt more in what's left in my mouth than I thought possible. Now I am waiting to see a Surgeon at UPMC in Pittsburgh for the complete removal of my lower jaw and and what they an do to replace it or make life durable. Hell, I have 25 more years to live so I hope it isn't too bad. LOL life goes on and so will I with a smile if it is possible. If not, then canned laughter will be in my pocket. Hard to say which choice to make between surgery or rads and chemo.
