I know I haven't posted in a long time...just too much going on. David got through his surgery on 11/24 ok and none of the lymph nodes (22) that were taken out turned out to be cancerous. Good news.
We have been slowly trying to return to a 'normal' life, whatever that is these days. I just wanted to thank you all for your support during the worst of the times. I have just started thinking/feeling that maybe there is hope that Dh and I will have a more significant time together time-wise. And reading this site has helped....Again, thank you.
Sincerely,
Kendall
Wife and caregiver to David, diagnosed with squamous cell cancer/Stage 4 5/08. Primary on left tonsil stub, spread to left neck lymph nodes. 38 IMRT/3 cisplatin completed on 7/31/08.

Thanks for the update. Its always nice to see some good news about someone who has finished treatment successfully. Its very good news about the nodes all being cancer free. Hope for continued healing and good health for your husband.
