Suzie,

I just would like to welcome you to this circle of friends. Do you have plans for seeing an oncologist? Does your oral surgeon have extensive experience dealing with cancer patients, or will a referral be made? These are a couple of questions I would ask.

It looks like to me you are one who is persistent and can advocate for herself. This is great because it means you can keep on top of things through treatment and that you will get the care you need.

Hang in there, you will be able to get through it.
