Hi All
My wife started about 6 years ago with leukoplakia she had it removed and than about a year ago it started with a sore on the tongue and before long it was off to go through a long operation and reconstruction I guess common to most dealing with the same cancer.
Monday they went back in to remove 2 lumps that appeared while going through radiation. After surgery at Westchester Medical they said that it has spread.
So we never run from a fight so now it's off to Sloan Kettering in hopes to get her on immunotherapy.
My thanks to Eva and Brian for guiding light in this fight.
Russ
