New member and cancer patient. Diagnosed in Feb and had surgery Feb 9. Had tumor in cheek removed plus a grinding down of my left mandible so mandibular artery and nerve were untouched. Also had 14 lymph nodes removed of which the first 3 had evidence of cancer. I also had some teeth removed that would be in the radiation field to help prevent infection. I underwent my CT simulation today and start radiation once a day for 6 weeks on the 8th of March and will meet with the medical oncologist about chemotherapy. I've decided to accept the treatment plan that will give me the best chance for survival.

About all for now, thanks for reading.
