Hi,
I'm from Hong Kong, and I have been viewing this forum for quite the past month, and decided that I want to be a member in here
My mother was Dx with tongue cancer on 14 Feb 2011. I thought that it was the worst day of my life....
The doc was great, they arrange all the test and surgery right away, and my mother was wheeled into the operation theatre a week later. The surgery last for 14 hours, and she was on breathing machine for the first day post-op.
Exactly one month later, the whole family went to see a RO with her, and was being told that no rad is needed. That means her Tx is now finished.
She did struggle a lot during the course of her Tx, but what is more important is that she finally made it. Even though she still have a lot to learn, she win the battle for now.
For those who is still in the battlefield, keep on fighting, you will win this battle.
