Good luck and well wishes to all on the board, and thank you to Brian, who does such a great job in monitoring and professionally keeping the board going. I now have only a few months cancer free from a second tongue cancer this summer. The first was 7yrs. ago. I was told then by my Dr. who still works with me, that we do not know what will happen as far as recurrence. But that I must never smoke or drink alcohol. Since 2000, I have not had so much as a puff or a sip of alcohol. I still had a small recurrence. I am lucky it was caught early and a surgery was done without chemo or radiation. The main thing with oral cancer is VIGILANCE! Checkups are a must, along with constant self care.

So much in life is out of our control. I try to live in the now, and enjoy what I can each day. Cancer has affected just about every area of my life, but I am lucky to have a life today...Be Well to All!
