I will certainly stick around! Hopefully I'll remain healthy and will become another source of support for people here. In fact, I see this as an ethical obligation, which I'm very happy to fulfill.

There's one other piece of information I wanted to share with you guys. Namely, the whole notion that young people with oral cancers tend to be at a disadvantage compared to older patients is simply not true. This was told to me by the folks at Anderson. I heard this assumption a lot on this board, and just wanted to set the record straight. It turns out that more and more, the people at Anderson are finding that many young patients (i.e., people under 40) do very well--no better or worse than the older patients.
