Dan, Just want to let you know I'm thinking of you over here, hope things go ok, as I'm sure they will. The "fatalistic" feeling is pretty normal for the first few follow up scans. Only since my last scan was I able to shake that feeling, as you may remember I was just sure I was done for.

As far as the get together, that would be way cool, I'd make the flight back to U.S. for that one for sure.

Brian, I couldn't agree more, oral cancer seems to be an "orphan" disease. Luckily, I was able to find this site, which to me seems to be one of the more comprehensive sites on oral cancer I've seen. And it has a worldwide reach, looking at the "location" sections of personal information.
