hello all, tomorrow is Dell's surgery, (laryngectomy, neck dissection and partial glossectomy) and the family is gathered tonight in good spirits, although Dell is not having a good day- lots of discomfort and fatigue. i'm just writing to update, and ask you good folks to keep us in your thoughts and prayers. we are in great hands, have wonderful doctors, and all we need now is for that wretched cancer to be taken out! but we still need your good thoughts to remain strong through this ordeal; i feel very emotionally brittle tonight and its tough to put on a positive face looking at Dell. i'll write tomorrow to update on what was found, and how the surgery went. love to all Emma
