Thanks to everyone for the comments. I am going to call another DR today for a 2nd opinion, just to ease my worries at least. I forgot to mention that my cancer is in the roof of my mouth, which I've heard is way better than the tongue or throat, but I'm still worried because there were 2 tumors. And I've read that they can be caused from the HPV virus. Does that show on the pathology report? I don't think mine would be, but who knows? I think it would be important to find out for sure. Thanks again for all your comments.
