Betty, I found out on 12/19/06 that I had cancer. I had lymph nodes removed at that time and they were found to be squamous carcinoma. So far, my doctors have been unable to find the primary source. Like you, I am afraid of the unknown aspects but I feel that the more I learn and begin to accept my near future, the more the fear is replaced with participation. I know it is going to be tough but I also know that early detected cancer of the Head/Neck type are 80-90% curable.
