Hi,

I am new the discussion and new to being a wife of a cancer victim. My husband had a biopsy on 9/11/06 - not the day for a biopsy - we got the cancer diagnosis on 9/12, he had a Pet and CT scan on 9/18/06 (my birthday) and we learned he has stage 1 squamous cell cancer of the tongue with a couple tiny (less than 2 cm) spots on a couple lymph nodes, we went to a local oncologist the following week, to MD Anderson for a second opinion on 9/28. He was scheduled to start radiation with the local oncologist and at the local cancer center on 10/23/06 - that delay was very frustrating and scary. The cancer center then called on the morning of 10/23/06 to cancel the start of his radiation and could not tell us when they could reschedule - they supposedly were having
