New update:

Just saw the resident doc yesterday and they ran a couple of ct scans for head, neck and chest. Doc felt around the tumor area and was pleased it didn't appear to go over the other side of the tongue. I have a pet scan scheduled for Monday and I am camping with my son over the weekend. I have a great wife, son and lots of friends. I am very happy I found this site so that I can vent, communicate and hopefully one day write SURVIVOR! I have way to much to do. I scuba dive, bike and spend lots of time with my family. I guess I will give up beer for this, but after being diagnosed I have found how much I want to get through this and live.
