    G’day Johnny

     

    With sadness I must report the following:

     

     

    Frank10G Passed away last year, he was a good man who did all he could to fight this C but in the end he lost the battle.

     

     

     

    Pumakitty, Lost both her Father & Mother last year to Cancer, please keep her in prayers

     

     

     

    Greend: Denny also lost his battle last year; he was a good friend and someone who is missed. He helped many on this site and I am just one of them who life has been enriched by knowing him. His wife has help me by giving all kinds of recipes to my wife about things she can make for those of us who live on the PEG tube for life.

     

     

    The Good News: 

     

    Scambuster: Still doing well, still working full time in Singapore, he has two beautiful children and a lovely wife who are all doing well.

     

    God Bless you all

    Tim Hondo

    I am still around!

    Joined in January 2011 after my first battle, August 2010.  Started out with a bump on upper lip, no signs of cancer until path report came back scc perineural involvement, spindle cell varient.  Had mets to neck, neck dissection followed by more radiation then orbital exenteration Nov. 2012, mets on orbital nerve, followed by chemo this time and more radiation.  Cyberknife in Sept for mets to nerves in cheek and tumor on skull.  You would think that I had been cooked enough--just had Moh's surgery yesterday for skin cancer on face.  This time plain old scc!  I'm still here!

    I thought I took care if this, damn chemo brain.

    Still fighting the good fight. Ended up with METS to the Lung and Mediastinal Nodes. Currently on Taxotere and very little to no disease showing up on CT. I retired one year ago last week, and moved from St.Louis to Austin so my wife could advance her career. We are building our "dream home" and move in date is early May. To all of the newbies and veterans, I have been battling pretty constant since July of 2010, so there is still light at the end of the tunnel.

    STAY STRONG

    Lived in San Diego.  She died last year following a long battle.  I received an email from her husband a few months back to memorialize her passing.  Cathy was a fighter, not well known to most people here, as she didn't post often, preferring time in her flower garden.

    Update

    Hi, thank you for updating this list.  I haven't posted here very often but I'm still around.  I had my 1st bout with SCC to the left side of my tongue in February, 2001.  About 1/4 of the left side of my tongue was removed with no additional treatment.  The cancer returned in 2003; one week after I signed my early retirement papers from the federal government.  I had a very bad nose bleed and a small lump appeared in the left side of my neck in July, 2003.  Test results indicated the SCC had metastized in the lymph nodies in my neck so I had a radical left neck dissection and my tonsils removed in August, 2003.  I retired in September 2003 and had two months of IMRT radiation from Oct - December 16, 2003.  

    I do keep up with all my checkups and so far - so good.  It's been 10 years since radiation treatments ended.  I still have some saliva production and my taste is pretty normal.  I've had some difficulties swallowing over the years and have had several throat dilations; the most recent in December 2013.  The recovery time from that dilation was a few weeks because I waited too long in between dilations.  I won't make that mistake again.  I struggled with depression after my second bout with cancer but have had good results with medication and therapy.  

    I am so grateful to still be here and to have the love and support of my family and friends - and a great medical team.  Warmest regards and hugs to all who are struggling with this disease and those that support them in the good and bad times.  Kathy

    Hi Paula, 
    Great to hear you

    Hi Paula, 

    Great to hear you are doing fine. One fault with self reporting is you need to be able to self post. I'm sorry you missed reading about Hawvet passing in April. It was posted here - notice
