Hi Lynn,I am sorry but that last post was very insensitive to me.I had my surgery 2 and half weeks ago.I am under the care of the oral surgeon,an ENT doc and her husband,who is an oncologist.They sat down together,went over my pathology reports and decided on a treatment plan of watching me every 2 weeks now then every month,I admit I am not satisfied with this,that was my reason for posting,not to be lectured on why I shouldnt have smoked ,I think I realize that Thanks so much,I need some reassurance now,not judgement and Gary's post was very rude
