Hello Jennifer,

You have gotten some sound advice from the above posters. You want the best to evaulate your condition. Someone who sees Head & Neck cancer patients alot. I found out after my treatment at the local cancer center they only saw 5 oral cancer patients a year!!! I was a stage 4.
You want to throw everything at this the first time. It is a most unforgiving diaease.
We have lost some stage 1 & 2's while stage 3 & 4 have survived. Everyone reacts differently to similer treatment. As you start your journey I hope your decisions are sound and you recover completely. You can beat this just like so many other members have. I and many members will be pulling for you. Ask any question you can think of and someone will reply. It is a close band of brothers you are now a part of. I like to think of it as "One Big International Cyber Family"

Best Wishes, Danny Boy
