I had surgery(May 02)for tongue cancer Stage IV, 2 lymph nodes involved, radical neck dissection and radiation (7 weeks ended Aug 02), I still tire quickly, very slow moving in the morning especially and I used to be at my job 6:00 a.m. every day!!!(Of course, I should mention that I will be 47 in June, SMILE) I am taking it one day at a time and am so very grateful to be alive and like you put it in the hands of God and my doctors. So happy to be a survivor!!! I too would LOVE to see my children (17 year old twins) graduate HS, college, marry, etc. This illness has made me realize the importance of EACH day! I am so glad I found this Web site, Thank You Brian and everyone else involved.
