Well, the big day is at hand, tomorrow at 0630, I'm due at the SurgiCenter for my neck dissection and hemiglossectomy. I can hardly contain my excitement. (NOT) I'll be holding on to the hands of all the good folks on this board who have given me advice and encouragement through the diagnosis and waiting periods. Thanks again, everybody, you have all been a lifeline in an uncertain sea.
