JStone - Where are you in SW Florida? I have never heard of Sylvester Cancer Clinic. We are in Sarasota. My husband has had 3 small oral cancers since 2002. They too had clean margins,etc. so he had been advised against radiation. His were on cheek and gum tissue. He did lose 3 teeth altogether with the surgeries. Have they discovered another SCC now? We use the ENT (he's very aggressive,surgically) up at Shands in Gainesville, but he also has local doctors that check him often. Thanks...JaneP
