Hello everyone:

My name is Tim Dusek. I'm a two-time oral cancer survivor - first diagnosis 5/2010, had a partial glossectomy and neck dissection done 6/16/2010; thought everything was okay until a second diagnosis 1/3/2011, began chemo 1/17/2011, second neck dissection 2/24/2011, followed by 28 radiation treatments that completed 4/28/2011. I live in San Antonio and have met a handful of survivors from the local area. I've also participated in the two oral cancer walks that we've had in S.A. I feel a kinship with all survivors out there, and I'm hoping to get to know as many of you as possible. I'm on Facebook.
