Greetings people: I'm Billy, just turned 48 and from Glasgow,Scotland but writing this from Dubai in the U.A.E. I'm a survivor, so far that is, of an encounter with oral C in 2000. Diagnosed T4 N0 and operated on virtually immediately. Got a fair chunk of pelvis in my mouth and a real fancy scar to prove it. Going to get teeth implants and perhaps have the titanium plate removed. Eight weeks after leaving the hospital in Scotland 5 years ago I was working in Indonesia, then Azerbaijan then Norway and now in The Emirates. Looking forward to more travels and a healthy life. No more smokes for me, no sir....
