Gwalls,

Let's not be silly here. You still have a third of your life to live. Two years ago I woke up to celebrate my 4th anniversary only to feel a pain in my throat when I swallowed one of my pills. Yes it was devastating, but I got my butt to the oral surgeon asap. While they couldn't save my larnyx, they could save my life. It was only stage I and I'm doing just fine.

Having already had radiation it becomes even more imperative that you catch it early because you can only have radiation once to an area. This limits your options on treatment.

So chin up, and get to the doctor immediately and remember as someone this board keeps reminding us.

Cancer is a word not a sentence.
