@56tburd Just found out that the Tumor Board recommended surgery to remove the remaining cancer and a major flap procedure with a graft and removal of neck nodes. Now radiation sounds better than this but that option is in reserve should I need it in the future. Hopefully, this will preserve function and be a cure. One can hope.

@healthydeb I wish treatment had come further along than it has, but it has definitely improved in the past 20 years. I hope it all goes well for you.

@healthydeb
Somewhat relief knowing a plan is in place. Wishing you wellness in every step of your recovery.
