KICK CANCER'S ASS!
I write those wor...Tamara,<br /><br />KICK CANCER'S ASS!<br /><br />I write those words to you just as they were told to me, last year, when I was diagnosed with stage 4 tonsilar and lymph node squamous cell carcinoma. I only had the courage to ask the doc, just last month, what stage it had been but knew back last year that it was very bad. It had spread extensively through all of the nodes in the right side of my neck and apparently may have been developing for well over a year but was likely misdiagnosed a few times before it was diagnosed properly. I beat it after a long and grueling 7 week set of treatments that at first seemed to have failed because I still had enlarged nodes at the end of treatment. They diminished to nothing within the several weeks after the treatments and so far I have come up clear in follow up testing. <br /><br />I am not telling you all that to make this about me. I told you that so you will realize that if an older guy like me can beat a terrible cancer like that, then a young and otherwise healthy person like you can kick cancer's ass too. Just hang in there for the whole fight which in your case hopefully will not be all that bad physically. Of course, there is also the mental battle. I imagine any cancer diagnosis makes for a tough mental battle between utter depression and high fight back spirits. You can do it - you can kick cancer's ass. You will be well again. Remember that and live by it. <br /><br />I am praying for you and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers for the duration.<br /><br />All the best,<br />Glenn B.<br />Glenn Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16677859688487279914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-22489056784715071632012-11-10T17:48:16.111-05:002012-11-10T17:48:16.111-05:00I've been an unemployed bum w/o health insuran...I've been an unemployed bum w/o health insurance more than once.

One on my left ear and the other in my right eyebrow. Here are my bits of advice:<br /><br />1. Find a MOHS surgeon, not some other kind of M.D.<br />2. If the doc wants to give you more than a local anaesthetic, go find another doctor. I fired 2 docs before finding the one who did the work.<br />3. I don't care what the docs says, it's going to hurt like hell for a few days. Insist on a week's worth of serious painkillers (not just ibuprofin) so that you will be able to sleep at night. During the day I didn't need anything, but sleeping was a real problem.<br /><br />Having been through twice without any support from those around me, please feel free to write my about anything or nothing.The Great and Powerful Ozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01379953300283048280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-9401195709426511112012-11-10T15:34:38.773-05:002012-11-10T15:34:38.773-05:00If you need health insurance, I have an opening wh...If you need health insurance, I have an opening where a wife used to be.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-164973979495014472012-11-10T13:31:23.391-05:002012-11-10T13:31:23.391-05:00As long as you don't die the same way Tycho Br...As long as you don't die the same way Tycho Brahe did ...Kristophrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08370888276707569365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-21175557516655864932012-11-10T12:27:15.911-05:002012-11-10T12:27:15.911-05:00Hang in there, Tam! :DHang in there, Tam! :DDarrellnoreply@blogger.com
