well my dad was diagnosed with cancer last christmas did radiation and everything else and recently we came to find this month that he is fighting it for the second time, he will know more this week but outlook not that great. doc says will prob need surgery, one of two hopefully the least seriouse one, the seriouse one he has to b cut from outside in and clear out the cancer on his tongue in back of throat which he will probobly lose his voice forever as well as have to b fed through a tube for rest of life, as well as have tissue taken from arm to fill where carved. second one same with carved only least likely to lose his voice or have to b fed through tube....JUST THOUGHT WOULD UPDATE THOSE OF U WHO READ MY BLOGS.
