Thanks everyone...It is hell but I'm maintaining very well. Right now I'm just trying to stay busy and keep my chin up! (no pun intended!)

At least I can go to the V.A. hospital in Milwaukee ( FOR FREE I HOPE ) if I do find out I have this nasty disease. I already get my asthma meds there for a $7.00 co-pay. BTW...they do have a comprehensive cancer care center there.

Been getting more pain lately in my jaw, ear, and throat but the Ulcer or whatever it is is just staying the same pretty much.

I'm already begining to face some hard truths and facts if this nightmare comes true. Again...I am not afraid to die, but I will die trying to kick the shit outta this cancer if thats what it is. If not...I AM AWARE....And I will always look at life in a different light...

Quick question. Will an Oral Maxilliofacial Surgeon do a Biopsy or whatever to find out what is wrong? Or should I just by-pass that step and go to the V.A. cancer care center? Again Thank you all for your thoughts and prayer. I'll keep in touch.
