Greg, you're part of the family now and we rally around our own. You sound like a very upbeat guy and I know you'll get through it. As others have said, it's not the easiest, but you're going to do it.

Courage!

Greg,

This is the beginning of a tough time, I won't lie, but you will make it -- trust these people. My ENT and RO told me I am probably the slowest healer they have ever seen but even I have managed to get largely back to normal smile -- if I can, you can.

Remember through this that now things are being done -- take a lot of strength from that. You're not waiting, you're not worrying, you're doing and you have a team of people doing them.

Good luck, stay strong and let us know how you're doing. Listen to the advice you'll see here and embrace the journey -- you'll be through this in no time!

Cheers,

The Hellion
