Hello again and thanks again for all the best wishes.

I'm back home now but still tired and a little woozy. I expected to wake up after surgery with a trach, a feeding tube and no teeth. Instead, I wake up with no trach, no feeding tube and six teeth. I felt like doing an impromptu "Eric Cartman"
"I Have Six Teeth! I Have Six Teeth! ....."

This thread is getting long so I guess I should end here and pick up over in "Currently in Treatment" as that is indeed where I am.
They found cancer in three nodes and also outside the nodes and I am classed stage three. Next, in about two weeks or so, is chemo and radiation. In the meantime, I'm glad to be home.
Helen
