I am sorry to hear this news, though the fact he had not posted in the last week or so was an indication that this was coming.

Petey was here only a short time -- less than six months -- but he jumped right in with both feet and left an indelible impression. Fittingly, his most recent posts were not about his own situation, but were efforts to help others.

Thank you, Stella, for letting us know. Our prayers are with you all.

April 2006: Husband dx by dentist with leukoplakia on tongue. Oral surgeon's biopsy 4/28/06: Moderate dysplasia; pathology report warned of possible "skip effect." ENT's excisional biopsy (got it all) 5/31/06: SCC in situ/small bit superficially invasive. Early detection saves lives.
