Just a quick update.....I have my first CT scan and recieved results last Monday...NED! I had my surgery on 12/26/2014 and they took the tumor out with clear margins all around. I started radiation on 2/6 and ended on 3/19. 30 treatments, no chemo. I have started a cancer reoccurence reduction program called LIVING! I am so busy right now I don't know how to squeeze another second into my schedule! For those reading this who are still battling this, stay strong and come to this board often for advice and support. I have gained a great deal of information and encouragement from this site and am truly grateful to the members of this "club". I will keep everyone updated monthly to report on my progress. I have some soreness where the flap was attached but my ENT visit yesterday told me this is normal and it takes longer for the tongue to heal. I am eating well, food tastes come and go. I can talk almost normal (I really don't know if I was normal to begin with). I enjoy non alchoholic beer, especially after doing lawnwork. Physically, I'm good....I got back on my bike and have been riding a litle bit. I am trout fishing this weekend and crappie fishing next weekend. I took my boy out to watch the Royals game last night. Even though we lost we had a great time. Isn't it amazing to wake up and be able to look outside and know that your still in this world!!!

Cheers!
