Hi Bob,

Some more stuff so to show that you are at least as sane as I am, For the first year everything I did was as though it was the last time. I didn't really plan beyond the next dr's visit. The second year things changed and I started to plan out a bit farther. Recently my wife and I are planning a trip to Europe with friends 6 months from now. Yes in the last year I got my will and trust set up, but everyone should do that (and at a much younger age than we did).

The bottom line is as time goes by you think about it less and less.


Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
