I'm not sur about this updated site .
Hi Bradlou20, i know the feeling well and remember when your journey started. I had cancer 3 times in 3 years all to do with the mouth and neck. I never gave up hope despite it coming back and trusted my consultant and his team as they were just as concerned as i was and never gave up so it was third time lucky. Mine started in 2008 and my last operation was in 2010 and have been told there is very little chance of it returning. Back then robotic surgery was not used so it shows how technology and techniques have changed, for the better, as its less traumatic with fewer scars, etc. All i can say is have faith and hope they manage to stop it this time, best wishes, take care.
