This is a good place with wonderful support. My brother is 42, non-smoker, non-drinker and fighting to stay strong. I can't offer much support at this time (I'm too emotional) but my prayers are with you and these wonderful people are pure gold.
Brother diagnosed SCC August 2005, radiation and chemo- 2 rounds, total glossectomy Sept. 2007, passed away May 21, 2008
"Everyday is beautiful" he stated on a cold and foggy Chicago winter day.
