Every patient that my doctors office sends my way for support, the first thing I talk to them about is the "making of the mask", as I call it. It really had that huge of an effect on me, which is silly considering the horrific surgery I endured. Go figure.

One third of tongue removed 10-4-07. 5-23-08 chemo started for tumor behind swallowing passage, Our good friend and much loved OCF member Minnie has been lost to the disease (RIP 10-29-08). We will all miss her greatly.
