Delia,

Our MO told us right off that it is not a genetically linked cancer...I hate to say it but its the smoking that is the the most common cause for oral cancers. That is why I urge you to get Charlie some help. You guys don't want to have a reoccurrance after you've fought the battle of your life. I pray that Charlie finds the strength. It's a powerful addiction. I don't mean to preach, I just want you guys to have a long happy life together(with lots of babies!)

God Bless...Let us know on your scans. Just another week to wait, we have to wait till August for Stephens scans..it's like waiting for your fate to be decided - pure torture.

All my best, Kerry
