Paul, welcome to OCF! Im so sorry you are going thru another recurrence!!!

There are a few members like Pandora and Charm who have had radiation twice. If you are not being treated at a major NCI cancer center than I would suggest go to one as soon as you can. They are most familiar with treating difficult cases like yours and may be able to have something else you can do. I would still suggest you go to a CC for a second opinion, there are some in Philadelphia and also in Baltimore, I think also in Boston. Check out the list and please try not to let location be what makes your decision.

Ive had oral cancer 3 times and Im very fortunate to be here. I credit the OCF's founder, Brian Hill and the members of this forum for helping me get thru that last round. I almost refused treatment but they helped me to see that I couldnt give up without at least trying to get well. I know its a hard road with difficult choices to make.
