Hello Gordon,

You really find out quickly who your true friends are on this journey. People you wouldn't expect step up to the plate and some you would expect help and support from remain absent? Some just don't know what to say or act to such a serious diaease.
I talk to more people on this wonderful forum for support and love than I do my friends. Who understands better than someone going thru a similier diaease.
Don't dwell on what you look like now. Your job is to heal both emotionaly and physicaly. I'm sure all of us wouldn't flinch at the way your face looks. I've taken the attitude to hell with them that judge a person by his looks without knowing why. Shallow people!!!
You should hear me talk, Some people understand
but most can't really hear me clearly. My weight is down to 126 but I still go out and act like a normal person. (If I ever was normal)

I won't let this bastard of a diaease control my life as I continue to fight to win the battle.
Remember your lips will heal and Stand Tall!!! Not many have been through what we have.

All my best, Danny Boy
