Gina, Im glad I was able to cheer you up. I hope you realize how special you are and celebrate that fact. Your right, it takes a fellow oral cancer patient to truly understand you. I feel the same way, my oral cancer buddies are my favorite pals!!! Even the ones I havent yet had the chance to meet and only know over the computer. We are a special bunch and need to stick together. After getting thru what you have, you are absolutely amazing!!! Be well smile
