Hello everyone My name is Kelly i'm 31 years old and I have just discovered I am again facing the old friend named cancer...I say that because honestly It did make me a stronger person for the 5 years that I was cancer free...So I consider this a couple of bumps in my lifes road and will take them slowly and dodge what I can...Then when Its all over Ill drive off right back towards the sun! I hope that maybe I can learn from anyone that has had this and maybe I can be helpful to a few of you as well, I have had tongue cancer 2 times now, had 1/3 of my tongue removed, been through 29 radiation treatments, and now it seems I am traveling this road again! Have a blessed day to you all!

    Sorry to hear you have to go another round Kelly, once is enough for anyone. There are a lot of two (or more) timers on the board and they are testament to the fact that you can beat this. "Dodge what I can", I like that. You look like you have more family around you to love you this time, and everyone here will be praying for you and offering their help.

    best, Hal

    Thank you!
    I really appreciate those prayers, and it's always a breath of crisp clean air to have people that you can relate to and understand what you've been through..I was a member here before and it was always a relief to talk to others after a tough bit of news or a trying day at treatment.. I have some of the best family and friends that anyone could dream to have and am so thankful for each of them!
