That first wave of terror that hit me when Tom's diagnosis was put in front of us has returned and my stomach has turned to jello. I have sent this site address to many family and friends, but I have not been able to really talk to them; you fabulous people here are the only ones who understand - - - everyone else seems to think, "Oh, it is only tonsil cancer." I certainly don't have it in me to explain the treatment/side effects/outcome possibilities. Can't write any more because I can't see through very hot tears. I'm too new to have known Lynn, but this is still too hurtful. I love each one of you and truly do take strength and courage from your messages. Nicki
