Hi,
I am hoping to get some information from you as you this is the first time I have signed in to the oral cancer site. I was diagnosed with squamous cell ca of the gum Feb 11, 2008 and have undergone radical surgery in Chapel Hill NC to remove the tumor as well as having the fibula free flap as well. My doctor tole me when I first saw her that this is cureable. please let me know how your first surgery went. I thought I was alone out here in the world of oral cancer.

T2N1M0 Stage IV SSC right lower alveolar ridge with fibula free flap, Peg, trach, selective neck dissection,one node positive. No Chemo or radiation.Surgery 3/08.Cancer free for 2 years as of March 13.

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things and no good thing ever dies.
