Kipper, Welcome new member. I did not have RAD, just surgery. I had a third of my tongue removed, the bottom of my mouth rebuilt and a radical neck dissection. I was lucky as all of the lymph nodes they removed were cancer free. But even that brought me down and still does at times and that was almost two years ago. If you have it, take the time and read all of the posts on this board. Postings here are from patients, surviors and caregivers. Keep your chin up and use this board to gather information and also vent when need be. If you would like to email me direct, please feel free to do so at [email protected].

Take care.

Anne.
