I just signed on now and an update on you was the first thing I looked for. I'm sorry the news is so grim, but hopefully this surgery will leave you cancer free. What truly makes me mad is that your other doctors missed this despite all your complaints about pain and other problems.
You said you are also having a glossectomy. Will that be a total or partial? Or won't they know until they get in there?
If anyone can beat this, it is you. Hang in there Tiger! Your angels are watching. Sending good vibes your way.
Take care,
Eileen
