My husband is resting comfortably recovering from his surgery. We spoke via Skype last night. He said he ate some applesauce. That's huge: he's speaking and eating.

I'm encouraged to see him looking so well. The results of the operation are tentative pending the full pathology report but the surgeons say they removed two small areas from the right side of his tongue, both with negative peripheral margins. The interior regions that they removed had low density of cancer tissue.

He is having an MRI shortly, and then they are discharging him to the on site hotel today. More follow up tomorrow. Please keep your fingers crossed for the MRI results.

Thanks all for your support and Happy Thanksgiving!
