Nelie,

You want to throw everything at this cancer the first go around!! It is a very unforgiving diaease. Packing up & moving to Boston is a little detail compared to what your up against.
Remember all doctors are human beings and even they don't have all the answers. It is often not caught early enough due to them not seeing much of our type of cancer. Oral cancer is rarely seen at small local hospitals. I found out after my treatment that I was the 5th oral cancer victim they saw in the last year. Doesn't
give one a lot of confidence in that realm.
I hope you make the right decisions for your situation. Best of luck. No one should have to battle cancer three times.
