Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 706 | Hi Palmtree-i live in NJ also. I have met some of the wonderful people on this board at the Andover walk. It is a wonderful event. Let me know via pm if there's any questions I can answer for you regarding your future FIL's treatment. My husband went thru similar surgery, chemo, and rads.
cg to husband, 48 Stage 1V head and neck SCC. First surgery 9/07. Radiation and several rounds of chemo followed. Mets to chest and lungs. "Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain." Went home to God on February 22, 2009.
