I love this page and the people here but sometimes i get scared all over again. I had surgery 4 months ago. See the stats below, no radiation, no chemo and i did not ask about stats. I was told I was cured and the recurrance was extremely slim. I went to my follow ups as much as I was scheduled and only missed a month since my insurance lapsed.

I was elated and so very excited about being "cancer free". Maybe too excited. Maybe I should be doing more. I was so happy about my outcome but now I read all that I'm reading and think maybe I am being gullable and naive. oral cancer is no joke and very serious.
