Shawna,

I'm a member from the very beginning that reads often and posts infrequently. So, while I'm not always an active poster, I do check in with a comment now and again. In my case, I had only surgery (no radiation or chemo) and did not have a neck dissection, so I don't share the same treatments with many posters here.

In your case, your dad and I have the same Dr. so I am well aware of the treatment environment he is in, so I have posted in response to you several times.

With the efforts of Brian and OCF hopefully cases like mine become the common outcome of oral cancer, early detection by a dental professional of a curable disease if treated early and aggressively.

Again, best of luck to you and your father!
