Hi

I was diagnosed last October and had surgery in November. I wish I had gotten second opinions on surgery and radiation. I would second guess myself less. My surgeon said even though the cancer was not in the bone they needed to take out bone and teeth to get clear margins. It ended up being 10 teeth.

They took out the lymph nodes in my neck as a precaution. They took found cancer In only one lymph node. They still recommended radiation. That was worse then the surgery

It’s not that I don’t trust my doctors. I just don’t always think our agenda is the same.

The most difficult part for me was acceptance. There is a new normal. Look for the good in every day. Stay hopeful

Good luck to you.
