Hello John in NM. I have friends near the western border of NM in Socorro and I lived across the border from Pie Town in AZ for about 10 years. Beautiful, diverse country, truly enchanted.

You might want to add the information about your cancer to your signature like mine is here from your profile page. It is easier than having to go through it over and over again.

Was your neck mass removal a dissection or just an operation to remove the mass? Did they do a pathology report?

You are truly in the right place for information, support and even some good humor at times. The site is search-able both in the forum and the main site, but never be afraid to ask. I enjoyed your quote - it does make you think doesn't it?

Patty
