Its not often a survivor joins who went thru everything prior to this site being created. Treatments havent changed much for this awful disease except for the IMRT radiation being the norm now. Im sure you will find some interesting reading and maybe make some posts in the new section for long term survivors and issues. Brian has quite a story. Here is the link so you (or anyone else who is interested) can read about it. http://oralcancerfoundation.org/about/brianhill.htmhttp://oralcancerfoundation.org/about/key-staff.htmCongrats on being a long term survivor!!!
