Craig - best of luck with your surgery, I'm sure you'll come through with flying colors.

Clearly each one of us is unique in both physiology and emotional fortitude, and therefore reactions to treatment are like the proverbial differences among snowflakes. But I think, and this is my opinion, that you'd find most of us who've had radiation and surgery have found the former to be more taxing. Which is a lot for me to report given that my surgery involved a serious complication. (and of course mine was not a glossectomy but only a RND)

No question, RT is a bitch. But even so... I've read here about people going through it with relative ease. If you do end up needing it I'm sure your docs and nurses will help you to make it as smooth as possible. And there will be lots of people here, myself included, who'll be part of your cyber-team.

I'll be thinking of you Friday.
