Dear Jon,

As a former Western New Yorker, I do feel sorry for you up there with the cold and snow. I grew up in Clarence, was gone for about 16 years in Lexington, KY and St. Louis, MO, back to Clarence for about 16 years and have now been down here in sunny Mississippi for about 2

Thank you for all of your welcomes to "The Club Nobody Wants To Be A Member Of"! Never expected to receive so many well wishes.

Looks like I will be going through 7-8 weeks of radiation. Also, Cisplatin 2 times during the radiation. That was kind of a surprise because I assumed that I would be having Chemo once a week.
Will also be taking Eythyol before radiation. I hope that I am one who can tolerate it's side effects so I will be able to preserve some salivary function. Right side of face and neck still quite swollen from surgery and dissection. Seeing as it has been only 3 weeks since surgery, I must be doing ok.

Here are some answers to questions some of you have asked. I love Fly Fishing! My wife use to kid me that I should be the poster boy for LL Bean. Strictly catch & release. Can't stand the taste of fish LOL!!
As for concerts, I grew up in the 70's, so I am partial to that time frame. Love Southern Rock ie Allman Brothers, Marshall Tucker, Dickey Betts. Also being right up here on the Canadian Border, I am partial to alot of Canadian Music like The Tragically Hip, 54-40 and others. Oh yeah also Molson Canadian Beer and the Famed Canadian Ballet!

Once again, a sincere thank you for your support and look forward to corresponding with you in the future!!

Jon
