Hi -
It was my son's friend. He had just turned 30 when he got the diagnosis. From the first visit to his dentist to surgery, it was one month. They didn't mess around. He said he practically fell off the operating table, he was shaking so much.
His was in the front of his palate, so he is missing 4 or 5 front teeth. He had no risk factors - nonsmoker, not a heavy drinker.
Stories like his *do* give us hope.
I know ChrisP won't be reading this for a while, but my thoughts are with her.

Wow, 8 years cancer-free! That's great. I'm glad your friend's son did so well. Good to hear that his public speaking hasn't been affected at all. I can only hope for such good results myself - am using all my positive thinking powers.[/quote]
