Not to hijack your thread, but I HAVE to reply here.
Christine, I have seen you and you are still pretty, your inner Beauty radiates and your external beauty isn't bad either. But I get it. I disregard all those who tell me that my speech is fine because I know I don't sound like I used to. I remember the pictures you showed my wife and I of how you looked before the cancer, so I understand your feelings. On the TSA issue, I think your personality also goes a long way to your sailing through.
Eric, it turns out Doctor Strange was not the most valuable collectible choice especially when they are dogeared from multiple readings. I don't want them in the dumpster when I die, and this way others will enjoy them. I'm only getting about 25 cents a comic which works out to about $4 an hour on sorting and entering them.

Back to you Dan: Why not plan on walking down the aisle with your daughter? If it turns out you can't, then that's that. But Cancer takes so much away from us, and many studies (not enough to earn the OCF website imprimatur) show that HOPE and a GOAL can and do make a difference in getting through this. Brian knows this intuitively which is one of many reasons he runs the world's best support group for oral cancer patients.
Focus on that now, and while I hate all the new age "Secret" crap, visualization does seem to help. Don't give up before you even begin to fight. I exercised the first month of radiation at the gym and it made a real difference in my recovery. You can always punt if the radiation doesn't let you travel, but again, I think it is doable. Last but not least, ask your doctors if any of their patients recovery would have allowed the two hour airplane trip.
Keep the Faith
