Hey all... Quick update. Today marks the 11th year anniversary from the diagnosis of the cancer.

Regarding the sore behind my right ear, it is (still) very very slowly getting better.

I try to keep something on it, like antibiotic ointments, etc.

I "think" it will continue to get better and eventually heal. If not, I'll schedule a visit with the doc to have it checked.

THANK YOU everyone!!!!
