Hi everyone, just wanted all to know that my dad passed over on Sept. 23, 2002. At that time, although I did not look in his mouth, we assertained that it had spread to his ear, could see the tumor there, and it would bleed on and off. The terrible thing now is my brother had discoved a throat cancer about the same time, and altough he is a smoker, they say that only about 5 in Wisc. get this particular cancer a year, and not from smoking. He is finishing radiaation this week, and I really need some support from all of you out there that this time we will beat this thing. They did a bone marrow test and that seemed to be o.k. You all were there for me before and it gave me so much, would someone let me know if they have ever heard of this, and how did yours turn out. We have had a devestating year, and 2003 just has to be better. Hugs to all of you--I send healing thoughts to all every day. Thanks for reading this. Daughter in Wis.
