KB,

They didn't offer me surgery for my primary BOT cancer although I did have a neck disection and many nodes removed. If they would have offered me surgery I would have taken it. They said because of where the cancer was located and size surgery wouldn't be prudent. I wanted to throw the kitchen sink at this, so I had radiation and chemo.

You do have a long tough road ahead of you. It's good that you are in a position where you can take leave from work and focus on yourself. There are many folks around here to help and support you through this. Just let us know what you need.

Godspeed on your journey.

Tim
