It's been forever people, but I've been in the background since DJ was diagnosed with stage III tonsil cancer in 2002.

We had a horrible time, but he straightened out and was cancer free until Sept. 2007 (chemo with rad).

He had to have his vocal cords and tongue removed at that time (9/07). The last thing he said to me was "Now, don't you cry." I couldn't give him that.

He has since had to have the opposite side of his neck dissected, but he's the toughest person I've ever met. He went back to work full-time in June, and now I'm the one crashing.

Is there anyone else out there who has ever dealt with this?
I would love to talk to you.

Oh Mandi,

What a difficult time you must be having. I am not going thru as much as you are but I have had some difficult times. Venting here usually helps me the most because its between me and my invisible friends. Talk about it and get it out of your brain. I am not so good at asking for help.

I am sure someone who has experienced your specific problems will answer soon. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
