Welcome blc6571,

As always it is a double edged sword meeting people on this site -- good to have support but bad to be fighting cancer. The important point is that this forum community can help you do just that -- fight and fight hard.

I am a survivor or tongue cancer and what the folks have suggested above is great advice. My girlfriend at the time (now wife) and I came up with four pages of questions and faxed them to my doctor before I was scheduled to see him. He spent over and hour going over the questions with us before we went on to the surgery and radiation.

Keep us informed and we will help the best we can.

Take care,
Jim
