I met a lady today at the oncoligist who's mother had jaw bone cancer and lymph nodes when she was 70 had surgury, radiation and chemo. She lived to celebrate her 100th birthday pass one week later said it was all in her attitude. Boy am I working on mine.

Being a jawbone cancer survivor, I printed this post from Donna and have it hanging by my desk computer. Thank you for sharing this story. I fully intend to make it to my 100th.........if I pass the following week that will be OK with me!!
