I was diagnosed in March of this year/surgery in April. I totally understand being scared. INFORMATION OVERLOAD! I tried hard yo stay off google. Luckily, they got everything in one surgery and the radiation oncologist didnt think I needed radiation, so I consider myself very lucky. I only had a occasional earache and my "symptom", then one day as I was brushing my teeth, i hit a "sore spot" and after digging around in my mouth i find a "lump". Im still nervous and scared. I worry. I have stayed cancer free for now. This place really is awesome. You dont hear much about oral cancers so finding this place is amazing.
