That is a really scary word "cancer". Sure glad it was caught before it got worse and hopefully the treatment did its job.
An old longtime friend of mine had cancer in the mouth area and had a lot of it removed but he is ~ 80 now and doing well. My dentist's wife had cancer in the mouth or throat area, not sure exactly where, and had to have surgery and whatever, and she is doing okay, and this was something like about 20 years ago.
Something. that never used to happen before with a dental visit is they throughly check inside the mouth now so that is comforting.
Fortunately, we live is a good area for cancer treatment so hopefully you didn't have to travel far. The good news is you got good treatment (Seattle?). The bad news is, that's one of the COVID-19 hot spots!
We wish you to stay well, Phil, and as a suggestion, try to avoid letting any of our posts be a stressor. Maybe a more comfortable computer chair is in the future?
