It must have been very difficult for you to write this, but we are grateful for your input in the forum. We are convinced that mainstream medicine is a person's best chance for survival from this insidious disease. Your daughter was so young to get oral cancer, and I too pray for that "miracle" that brings her through this. I am sorry they lost so much in their effort to combat the cancer. Thank you again for sharing this story with us and please keep adding your comments and updates to the forum. Hugs to you and your daughter and family....you are in great hands (Mayo) now, so with all the medical advances in treatment for this surgery, you can look at recovery with reasonably high hopes.
