Your OC is somewhat similar to mine but I can't really help you with your decision. I will ask however where you are being treated. If you say M. D. Anderson (because they are in TX and I see you are), I say "great". If not, I'll tell you that since OC hits such a small percent of the population, it is imperative to get the best oral cancer specialist on your team. Doctors all treat cancer but few have the specialized knowledge of all the ins and out of OC.
