Thanks for the encouraging words. Some days are easier than others right now.

Not counting the original surgery at age 25, I have had a total of 6 surgeries...with the last 2 (Oct 04 and Aug 05) being cancer...others pre-cancerous. Each time being told that the cancer was removed...thus needing no further treatments. However, with the last 2 occurrences being so close in time, I'm beginning the process of finding out if other treatments are needed to maybe 'prevent' another occurrence. That has me quite scared.


1st diagnosis in 1991, SCC on tongue, T1/T2, all other occurrences T1, surgery only treatment thus far; most recent surgeries 10/04 and 8/05.
