Hi!
My name is Carl and my situation is this, On May 13,2005 my father went into the hospital with a collapsed lung. Xrays showed a tumor that proved to be cancerous. May 17, 2005 My mothers needle biopsy came back positive for breast cancer. The next day May 18, 2005 I was diagnosed with epiglottal and tongue cancer, What a horrible coincidence!! My fathers cancer has mestastisized and he has a meeting weds. with his oncologist to decide his treatment. My mom had a lumpectomy and is awaiting lymph node analysis. I had pet and cat scans tues and my body seems to be clean. Friday I had biopsies done under General Anesthesia. The doctor said the tumor was rather large and lymph nodes on both sides of my neck were involved. I will be getting chemo and radiation for 6 weeks sometimes 2x a day. I will also be getting a feeding tube. I would appreciate hearing from all who would like to share with me, Thankyou, Carl
