Pam, Some colleges offer online classes too. You can stay at home away from any possible sick folks and still get your work done.

Actually, I am teaching mostly online at my college since radiation killed my voice badly enough that I can't talk for more than about 40 minutes at a time in the classroom without getting hoarse. My college has won several national awards in terms of its online offerings and education. It's probably too late for this semester, but if you are still having a rough time with your immune system in the Spring and your school doesn't offer what you need online, send me a message through the system here. You could become a distance learner at our college even though it's half the country away from you.

Also, I don't see why you can't talk about sarcoma here. My understanding is they are more common if you have had radiation to the spot so I'm sure you aren't the only person who's had SCC and is now dealing with this. And it's good news that it's more favorable than a SCC recurrence. Hang in there! I'll think of you on the 9th.
