My first cousin had a tumor in the same place my brother did but I have 8 other siblings with no problems at all.

When I was diagnosed with the recurrance I was talking with my brother and he said his throat was bothering him just a bit. I told him that I would hound him every day until he got it checked out. Thats when he found out he had cancer.

Good thing we have a big family as they were working double time going back and forth between Texas and Michigan helping us both out. I started treatment first with my brother following by a month.
