Hi Rebel. Welcome! Glad you found us. My sister had same cancer and is 8 months out of surgery and 4 months out of radiation.
Please make sure you are being seen at a CCC. I'm sure Christine will be along here soon to post the link to them or just search it on our site.
There you are usually treated by a team which includes a surgeon, oncologist, speech therapist, nutritionist etc.
It's going to be a rough road that many here have traveled so ask away. No question is dumb or weird to us.
