Hi Liza,

Hopefully all is good (from a fellow Aussie, Sydney!) and I'm glad you found OCF.

I had tonsil pillar cancer and a rad Dissection, plus radiation 7 years ago. The radio gave me a bit of a run-around, with scar tissue in my throat. Have recently had 2 gastroendoscopies with dilation and it is so goo to be able to swallow much better! I mentioned to my surgeon about a lumpi I could feel in my neck where the secondary tumour was removed, so he checked while I was under GA. Luckily it was only the Atlas poking through what remains! Phew! I hope you're as lucky as I am ;-)!

Cheers!
Meredith (who will be over in WA sometime to soon to visit my uncle who just had a shunt put in his brain (he has frontal lobe pressure and hopefully this op will help him walk again!)
