I saw my surgeon today and a radical neck dissection is scheduled for this coming Monday.My PET scan showed the cancer has not spread anywhere else..it is just confined to the neck area. My doctor wants to approach this aggressively and I will have chemo plus radiation after a month post surgery.Am I scared? Heck yes!! But, being part of this forum has given me hope and the will to fight for my life. I have decided to stop looking at statistics and odds..instead I look at the number of survivors here.
Thank you everyone for welcoming me into this family. Please continue to remember me in your prayers.
