My sister and I struggle everyday with the rollercoaster of ups and downs and all of the unknown that our mom is about to encounter. We are frightened and hopeful that after she gets the radiation and chemo which start on Monday the 26th of January that the cancer will not recur. She has a battle up ahead with the chemo and radiation and we don't really know what to expect. Did your husband have the chemo and radiation? This is the second recurrance and the first surgery consisted of removal of over half of her tongue and part of the gums and the radical neck dissection with no radiation and chemo. This time her doctor feels its necessary to do the radiation and chemo (swing at it with a really big bat). So we feel like he really knows what to do. All the preparation for the weeks ahead has her very frightened and we can't even imagine how she must feel (especially because we feel so awful). When she was first diagnosed I was four months pregnant with my first child. Now I have a beautiful daughter Keeley who will be 4 months old on Sunday. This is my moms first grandchild and she is the light of all of our lives right now. That sweet pure innocence of a baby and the smiles she always offers keeps us all going. Please feel free to send me an email if we can be of any support to you and your husband. Thank you for your response.
