I was done with treatment at the end of June. At the end of August I found out that the pain was back. I found that the cancer has come back with a horrid vengeance. If it has not gotten into the lungs and chest, They will need to cut out my whole tongue and voice box. I have to tell you all. The game is over, for the first time, I am scared to death. I will never be able to eat, taste, speak or blow my nose ect. I know it seems picky, about not being able to blow your nose, but it remains a fact. I will have a stoma forever. As you all know, chemo and radiation is no picnic but this takes the cake. Yep, it is a good way to bring a man down. The ONLY thing that keeps me going at all is the fact that it will save my life. Odd thing is, they will not do it if it has spread too far. I will find that out this next week. Ironic thing is I find myself hoping they can help me. That's a kick in the groin, hoping they can cut out the tongue to save your life. Week in the hospital and Lord knows how long constant care is at home.
