Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 482 | The Lord has heard the prayers. All 5 biopsy points came back negative, no cancer. What amazingly good news. Surgery is rescheduled for Friday, April 30. A modified radical neck dissection with removal of all 5 nodes on the right side composed of 20 - 35 nodules. When complete, I should be cancer free. Thank God and the prayers of all of my support team, hundreds of people, some of whom, like you all, I don't even know. Thank you for your support and prayers. Regards, Kirk Georgia
