Well I didn't think I would be introducing myself a second time, specially not since my mom's first inital surgery in June 2006 went really well. She had oral cancer on the right side of her tongue, less than 2 cm, surgery was done and everything seemed good.

Now, in September, 2007 doctors found a lump on the left side of her neck. They have refused to give it a stage, saying its not reacting in a similar fashion

the world brought me to my knees...
