Thanks for the support Ray<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
Today is a good one. Have my flights booked and talked to the dietician today. Got some very good ideas to get my calories and protien into my diet. I lost 10 pounds in the last 3 weeks so getting a good meal is important. Being a oral cancer makes that difficult, but I try hard to eat as much as possible. Enjoying a shake right now loaded with lots of good stuff. Take Care!!!
One day at a Time....I WILL BEAT THIS!!!

Good luck, CKE. We're rooting for you.

Hey CKE, pick up a Bible and read a little.
Can I get an Amen? I'm not a christian, but God has been there for me thru a lot, a whole lot of trying times. To quote Mark Twain, " The man that does not read good books has no advantage over the man that cannot read them. Later, Ray out.

Craig,
My friend's dad had the same thing, a tumor on his tongue. It was removed with surgery, and the tongue actually heals very fast. Look at all the kids these days with tongue piercings. I don't know the medical stuff, but he's still around today after the treatment. You can beat this thing! Humor, and high spirits are the best medicine. Tell the doctor, use this! -- and hand him your favorite sterilized spyderco! Teach that temporary thing a lesson!

Well...I head for Toronto on Wednesday afternoon. Thursday will be spent drooling over knives a George Tichbournes place and S&R Knives. Friday is my consultation with the surgeon and hopefully the following week I will have the tumor removed. Not sure too many details as of yet. Will know a lot more after the appointment on Friday. Take Care and hope everyone is having a great weekend<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Prayers sent from Texas! Hang in there. While I have not yet suffered from cancer, my father and other relatives have. I read Lance Armstrong's book and found it very inspirational, and will probably read it again, especially if diagnosed with a major illness.

I just had half of my thyroid removed on Sept. 3rd. It was tested and was found to be benign. I am fortunate that it was not cancer. That is what the doctors suspected with the original pathology. Only with removal and complete testing of the whole tumor, could cancer be ruled out. I will say a prayer for you tonight. You will be well soon, keep up the fight.

It is true what Cpt. Hook said, tongue, throat and stomach recovers very fast.
I'm glad to see that your morale is that bold. It is OK to be scared (I think I would), but I don't see this for your part :)
