Hello everyone:

My name is Tim Dusek. I'm a two-time oral cancer survivor - first diagnosis 5/2010, had a partial glossectomy and neck dissection done 6/16/2010; thought everything was okay until a second diagnosis 1/3/2011, began chemo 1/17/2011, second neck dissection 2/24/2011, followed by 28 radiation treatments that completed 4/28/2011. I live in San Antonio and have met a handful of survivors from the local area. I've also participated in the two oral cancer walks that we've had in S.A. I feel a kinship with all survivors out there, and I'm hoping to get to know as many of you as possible. I'm on Facebook.

Let me be the first to welcome you Tim! Lol it's so great to see you here. Everyone is so caring and just plain awesome!!!!

What Tim isn't telling you is that he is also apart of the San Antonio walk committee and the first year I met him, he was going through radiation treatments.

He and his wife are great people, welcome!!!

I met you this April. So glad you joined us here.

Hey Tim

Great to see you have joined OCF forum, but sorry that you had to join our recurrence club also. I met you on Liz's first San Antonio walk with my wife Beverly. Welcome fellow two time survivor.
