Well, it wasnt as bad as i thought! Here it is...No Chemo (which i was expecting) but they said, dont need it since it was caught so early, I finally found out what stage i was in too. T1,N2,M0. But the radiation, i have to do, 6 weeks of it. Thanks so much for the L-lysine idea, i talked to the doc and she said she had no problem with me taking it. Wow, Jerry, your a dentist and ended up with this ! My oldest daughter is a dentist too, and when i told her I had SCC...well you probably know what her reaction was. Congrats on the one year... And guys thanks for congradulating me on my not smoking anymore, and "no" i wont cheat or ever smoke again, trust me! And for all of you that had to breath my second hand smoke, "Im sorry" and Danny, its funny you said something about Dr. Chambers, cause im going to see him next Friday in surgery when Dr. Martin takes out my teeth, he will be fitting me for my stint, so i will ask him for the oral wound rinse, thanks! Well im glad its the weekend and no more doctor appts. (the weekends help me feel normal and not like a cancer patient, weird huh?) Until next week...Have a great weekend and God Bless all of you, thanks again for all ya'lls support!
