hi everybody,
6/21 summer solstice, diagnosed with SCAA of left base of tongue metastatic to left neck lymph node. former smoker, non-drinker, runner, singer, dog lover, hardly sick a day in my life, feeling betrayed by my own body.
seeking possible robotic surgery at sloan-kettering, exploratory surgery on saturday 7/17 will determine whether or not i'm a candidate, if so, may mean reduced radiation and possibly no chemo. found out on friday my PET scan was clear.
am hopeful, have run 6 marathons so far, and am aiming to run my seventh soon-
thanks for listening-
jane
