All the speculation and agonizing over what is going to happen is coming to an end...I go in for my surgery on Monday morning. Mayo is going to do laser surgery,instead of the Mandubulotomy my other surgeon prescribed...Then they will do a neck resection and maybe rebuild my soft palate if they can...I won't know about Radiation until they take the tumors out and check the margins...I feel very nervous but, at the same time, relieved to not have to wait any longer...Thanks for all of your support and stories of perseverance...I go in with so much more information and power than I, at first thought was unattainable...This site is great with the support of you all, I am ready... I maybe in the hospital for the next week or so, I will post results as soon as I am able.
