Dear Elizabeth:
I'm sorry you have to join our support group, but members on this site will do their best to help you on your journey to get well.
I am hesitant to mention this as I don't want to scare you, but since you're being treated by one of the best (Anderson, Texas) and you'r a nurse, I feel more comfortable relating this to you.
Last month at our Support Group, a gentlemen was there that had cancer in his Salivary Gland. He was treated at Georgetown Hospital, DC and Cyberknife. His left side of his face was paralyzed, and he was deaf in left ear. He was extremely bitter, so no one engaged him in conversation too much. I'm mentioning this as to warn you to ask as many questions as possible about what COULD go wrong with the operation.

Wishing you the best.
