Hello Len,
I will be praying for you as you begin this fight!
My husband, diagnosed July, 2003 with tongue cancer, surgery, dissection and he is doing very well here in October. It is such a shocking thing to have happen, but I can say that it does a lot for really living life and realizing what is truly important such as family.

Marcy - what a positive message to Len. I learn so much from reading posts such as yours. I have lived the last months being very fearful, and I am trying to give it all to God and get some peace. Thanks!!
