When I first started out I knew NOTHING! I never even heard of oral cancer before. Thanks to this site I have learned an incredible amount of info.
Your plan sounds very good, getting a second opinion at one of the countrys top CCC. They will have a team based approach and have an entire team of specialists discus your individual case before they will make a treatment plan.
Please feel free to ask questions and we will help you as much as we can. Good luck with everything!!!
