Thank you Sandy. Unfortunately we did not get good news yesterday. The cancer is still there so they are scheduling a total glossectomy within the next 2-3 weeks. They are hoping they will be able to save his voice box but they won't know until they get in there. Ken is a mess so I am the strong one right now - it seems like we take turns which is a good thing. Heading to the Cape after his PET scan tomorrow to get away from it all for a few days - hope it helps!
