Topic Title

I realized that I have not been able to let folks know some personal news - I have had a recurrence of gum cancer. Back in 2009, I had surgery to remove a gum cancer - and this is a similar situation, slightly farther back on the same side of my mouth. This time, it was stage 2 invasive squamous cell carcinoma. I will also be having the lymph nodes on the left side of my neck removed a week from tomorrow. This is intended to be preemptive, and I will let you know how that goes.

Sorry to hear that Neil. Hang in there and will be praying for a speedy recovery, continued strength and healing.

Good luck Neil I hope things work out for the best.

Best wishes for your recovery Neil.

I recently had some lymph nodes removed and cancer was detected ... I hope that you are more fortunate and that no evidence of the cancer is found in the removed nodes.

Hope you have a good outcome Neil.

I do have happy news to report - I had a second surgery, to remove the lymph nodes on the left side of my neck. And the pathology results for that is all negative.

Good to hear Neil. Good luck

Great news Neil

Such great news, Neil!
