ChristineB- Thank you. I did get a second opinion at the top cancer in NYC. I guess I just didn't like their brutally honest suggestions. Especially when they made me wait 4 hours for each appointment, looked over my records within 20 minutes and then recommended their most aggressive treatment that will leave me with severe side effects that I don't know if I could cope with.
Would you be able to direct me to forums with people who had radiation/chemo for a second time in the same location. Specifically the oral cavity. I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank You
