All,

Thank you for the words of encouragement and hope!

My surgeon will perform a biopsy this week on what I believe(he doesn't)to be a new tumor. It's been there longer than two weeks so I went in.

In the meantime, I'm in the process of making an appointment with a team of 3 head and neck specialists(all disciplines)at the James Graham Brown Cancer Center here in Louisville.

I would also like to say that my surgeon responded when I asked him about the reduction in a patch of leukoplakia on my tongue that, "It does look less active there."

It went down after I started swishing and drinking green tea.

I drink two glasses of green tea beverage mix from *Tea Tech* every day totalling 600 mg of antioxidants. I also swish and drink 4-6 cups of Lipton green tea in addition to that.

Thank you again for the lift!


Jay
