Welcome to OCF.
I have a few questions about your type of cancer as this is a forum devoted to head and neck cancers. Isnt rhabdomyrosarcoma mainly an intestinal type of cancer, sorry not familiar with it. Your doctors diagnosed this to be in your cheek and its not oral cancer? Just curious as my oral cancer tumor was located in my cheek. Is ozone therapy available in Canada?
I am a firm believer of conventional methods of treating cancer. This is the proven treatment method which saves lives. Are your parents or guardians actively involved with your treatment options?
Best of luck with your choices.
