Hello All,

First off I wanted to thank everyone who responded to my post several weeks ago about my reoccurance. I received so many emails and private messages of support, It really lifts a guy up to know so many people are praying and pulling for you. Thank You.

I received some good news Monday about the reoccurance in the original surgical bed. The path report from the recent scan of August 6th reads as follows:

" There is noticeable decrease in mass of abnormal enhancing soft tissue in the right tonsillar bed since the previous study" (June 6th) "Findings in the soft palate and left tonsillar bed and parapharyngeal tissue appear unchanged"

I will be continuing with the chemo for the next five months. Having three weeks on followed by one week off. They tell me it can't be cured but it looks like it can be slowed down some. I certainly think all the thoughts and prayers directed my way contributed to my scan results.

"You Gotta Believe"

Thanks Again, Danny Boy!!!
