Hi,

Sorry you are here but it seems like you have oral cancer, so rather than be clouded about the diagnosis and any grand scheme to make doctors rich, focus on getting those second opinions and sitting at tumor board.

You will be spinning more than now so work hard to try to grab onto the important themes. Since time is so short you won't be able to get educated enough but try to read through the website here and it will help.

Treating this with surgery, chemo, surgery, or any combination is pretty normal.

Good luck,
don
