Thanks, Nels,

Just got back, went for follow up today.

Pathology says no bad cells in the margins!

I did pop a couple stitches though, skin is stretched tight as a drumhead, I think I pointed that out before....
Vanity....I’ll be ok, should have kept my wattle.
That little bit of extra skin would’ve come in handy!

Hope this is the last time they gotta cut on me.

1st time around was 2010, Sqamous Cell Carcinoma. Radiation, chemo, surgery: Radical neck dissection.
Cancer free until 2021.
This time around, started 2021, tumors on tongue.
May 2021 partial glossectomy, October ‘21 removal of a few more recurring on tongue.
February til May 2022 immunotherapy....no improvement
July 2022, total glossectomy, living the new normal.
PET February’23 another SCC on neck....next surgery April ‘23, see where it goes from here.
Still fighting.
