I WILL BE AROUND FOR A LOT LONGER.

For those who don't know. In February I was diagnosed with advanced cancer in the base of my tongue. What I did not know then was the doctors did not give me a good chance of beating it. But they started me on advanced chemo therapy. I was an in patient as it was a 24 hour a day treatment with side effects. But I managed to come home for a few hours every day.

Three intense sessions and 6 months later the results are better than anyone expected. The tumor is so reduced that surgery is not required, it was seen as inevitable in the early months, and all I need now is 6 weeks of combined mild chemo, if there is such a thing, and radiation. A tough 6 weeks ahead, but I can take it.
