3 years ago today....
was the day my life changed for what I thought might be forever....but not so. I was diagnosed March 5, 2012.....what a mind blower that was!
So today I had an ENT appointment, and he looked down my gullet, and checked out my vocal coads, checked my mouth and said....every thing looks great! Then as he backed up he said...."YOU look terrific!!"....I just smiled and told him that this was the anniversary of the bad news day. He gave me a big hug and said...."well, I told you that NPC wasn't what was going to kill you....and I still believe that"....
Merry birthday....sort of...to ME....ha!

A day you never forget.....
Congratulations........... You now can add this day as well as one to never forget.
However there are so many days, others won't forget as well. The many times you have had such kind words to the Newbee's and always there with cheer and support. I know I won't forget them.........

I was right behind you Phrannie
April 4th, 2012 I got a trach put in April 10th. Tumor near the epiglottis into the lymph nodes locally.
I said to myself "My life as I know it is over!" I was wrong! Pretty much back to normal but as we all know it is a long healing process.
Now getting scoped by my ENT every 4 months. Not sure if they will schedule another scan this year?
Cheers!

At A Girl
Go Phrannie Go
Like Matt, 5 years ago I was putting on my mask every day. March 30th my last day of being zapped will be here soon and I plan on pulling my mask out for the first time since that day 5 years ago.
I plan on celebrating for the rest of my life. My surgeon told me he can assure me I am going to die but it ain't going to be from throat cancer.
Merry Birthday!!!!!!!
