Hello Everyone. I have been to UCLA and will have surgery on 10-11 there. My MRI of head and neck didn't show any lymph node involvement, so at this time my Dx is T2 with no nodes and no metastases.

I have been reading posts and learning - even while I was on my cruise once in a while. I got back to LA last Friday after an overnight flight and had my appt at UCLA that afternoon and ended up staying over the weekend so I could have my MRI on Monday and see another Dr. on Tuesday.(plastic surgeon for tongue reconstruction)

I'm going to start a new Topic about what's happening.

Thanks for being here!
Rhonda
