Thank you, Julieann. It was nice to have a respose so quickly. I feel better knowing that there are those out there that had worse prognoses than I did, and they can survive. I tend to get ahead of myself and think I'm paranoid, yet I thought I was being paranoid that my initial symptoms were oral cancer. I have the good fortune of living in greater Boston and have perhaps the best surgeon out there. not only that, he is an amazing person...good to the core. I will surelt keep you posted.
