Not sure where to put this........ - 09-08-2008 03:29 AM
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.
