Daniel your post just brought tears to my eyes, My mom thought so highly of u,and I want so badly for u to be able to beat this. I too have learned to love like i never loved befor and to never take a day for granted.

My mom was a seven year survivor of this damn disease. She was given the speech of according to stats she was cured. I am not saying this to scare anyone but a year later she was diag with stage IV. I remember the Ent saying this was not related to previous Oral Cancer, i believe he was saying that because he missed it when he gave her the all clear.

I come here daily and it is because of all of u that i can make it through this. With each day there is new hope. Thanks to all.


Was Primary caregiver to my mom who had stage IV, SCC, Supraglottic with Mets to 4 nodes. Diagnosed Feb 04, died unexpectedly from complications from treatment December 17, 2004.
