I was 58 at diagnose time. Led a good life no flags. my daughter is a bio-engineer at MIT. She said it was just the way it is and get over it. ( in a nice way) she explained that we all have mutating cells in our body every day. Remember we have trillions of cells. Almost always, our incredible immune system catches them and kills them. In my case one got away! I also has SCC of endetermined orgin. The doctor thinks that it was possible for the original site to he done away with by mty imune system after is sent a couple of cells into my lymph system

Who knows? All I knew was that by the luck of the draw I had Cancer in my neck. What mattered most was not why, but to gear up to fight it at 100% of my energy.

Hey maybe it was luck that I am clear now, I just don't know.

All I do know was I had cancer, the treatment was was way harder than an ironman, I am getting back to normal. My biggest change is that every morning when I see the sun riseI appreciate I have a nother day on this side of the green. I appreciate my family and my friends who helped me so much, I guess I appreciate life a bit more
Sorry to ramble
