Denise - your words are so very kind - thank you!!
It's a very "addictive" place. I feel like I go through each day and I am blessed to encounter many people who care about my family and who are praying for us, etc. but none of them "really" get it. I don't think they can imagine how hard it (cancer) is to begin with. Then those that have cancer experience don't realize how much harder head & neck cancer's are. When I come here I feel lifted up, validated, understood, helped, etc.
I hope you stay with us and post when you feel like it. When we don't hear from you we'll know your watching and cheering us on!!
I'm sure you've found lots of data about your mom's type of cancer, but if you need any help finding anything let me know. I honestly think by now I have read everything ever printed about salivary gland malignancies. If I had access to things like linking hub and others that you must have to be a doc to get to - I would be fully "schooled"

on the subject.
