Thanks for the welcome, it's appreciated. I had a FNA 2 weeks back which was negative, followed by an ND which revealed the cancer. A Pet/CT pinpointed the cancer to the BOT. I finished up with the dentist today and will get fitted for the mask next week. Kick off date for Tx is June 15. Chemo 3x and IMRT 35x.

Christine, my wife will assist with my general needs, transpo etc. She's a sweetheart, but I really feel bad for her. cause she is understandably quite upset. Our dog is not too happy either as he is back in Cambodia and we're here in Thailand. He is used to coming with me to the golf course every am and riding around on the cart while I'm working. And yes I've started to eat everything in sight, last night was lasagna and tonite was ribs, of course I couldn't pass up dessert with that.

Dianne, we're 14 hours ahead of you, about 1/2 day. Sharing the almost same B-day is cool, but sharing the same Dx not so. Thanks for the welcome.

Catherine, First what does the 'RPVC' stand for? The only acronym I can think of is Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. I read through Teacher Jon's thread, he's certainly had a difficult time of it. I will reach out to him soon. Thanks.
