I remember waking up at Ohio State James James Comprehensive Cancer Center on Aug 3rd of 2007 and being told I didn't need rads or chemo because all of the cancer had been gotten. Knew that was wrong by the feel in my mouth. Dec 2007, more biospsies , part of right side joined the left side and took a walk. Was then told I needed rads and chemo. Lost my teeth, had rads and chemo after and then rad seed implants in my tongue..But as they say,, I am alive and kickin. Stll have problems but still laugh and enjoy life as usual.
