Brett and Gail- thanks so much for taking the time to share your information. It's very, very helpful. Marica, also thanks for reading the post

One thing I can't help but notice is how different treatment is (sometimes only in seemingly small ways - but different nonetheless)for those with what appears to be the same type of cancer. It can be unnerving but I guess it's just part of the whole heap of uncertainty that comes with a diagnosis of oral cancer.

all the best
Mary
