i've never done anything on a forum b/4, but, at the end of your post,
where you noted your cancer, i realized that mine was exactly the same. i'm only 6 months into this, and thought how nice it would be to communicate w/ someone in the same boat. is this how i go about it?
i'm 63 and have seen only 1 doctor- the ENT who did the surgery. i've been happy with my care and treatment, but now wonder if i'm lacking in diligence by
not getting a second opinion or investigating a cancer center. my insurance is not fabulous but at least i have some.
i look forward to hearing from you,
harriet
