My mom had surgery back in 2006 and they removed 30% of the tongue. In September 2007 a lump was found in her neck, the CT scan showed small spots in her lungs.

They did 7 weeks of radiation and 2 rounds of chemo for the neck/lungs. They confirmed that cancer is growing back in the mouth on Jan 14, through the ct scan...

since Nov 27 or something she has had no treatments for the mouth, neck, or lungs. Before they wanted to give her time, now shes to weak and now they want to meet in another month ..

the world brought me to my knees...
