I am going to see the doctor at Stanford today. He is from Head and Neck Surgical Oncology at Stanford. He is the only doctor I have see since my diagnosis so I think someone else will be doing follow up. I am also comsidering going to UCSF for a second opinion. What copies should I be asking Stanford doctor for today? I will ask for a copy of the pathology report but what else would I need? I am a little confused about how these forums work. Should I now be posting on the treatment one since this one is the introduce yourself one? I have never participated in a blog of any sort so sorry if I am doing this wrong! Thank you for being here. It is nice to have a place to talk to people who have been through similar issues.
