Thank you, T!

I'm looking at your signature and it seems like your treatment was spread out over time.

You said you are 8 weeks post treatment? In your signature, it says you had rads/chemo in 2012...is that a typo or did you have additional treatment? Was the emergency surgery just after your neck dissection? Forgive me, I'm just a little confused as to the order of treatments. I'm guessing that they started with surgery in late 2012 and went into this past Spring of 2013?

Nonetheless, thank you for sharing your experience. I'm wondering how long this will last. I know I will ask my doc next week, but it's just nerve-racking as you know. Every little thing makes you worry...especially with having had cancer twice and a scan coming up next week!

Take care and I'll keep you posted,
Kerri
