in Head and Neck Cancer #1

Jim is now five years out from his diagnosis of advanced inoperable hypopharyngeal and base of tongue cancers with lymph node involvement.  We want everyone to know that although it was a tough fight, it is a survivable.  If you are facing cancer just know you can come out on the other side.

Thanks to all for words of wisdom in the forms of sharing your personal cancer experiences and of offering calming words.

    Now that is great....:)

    That is really such wonderful news and can inspiring to all the newer people. Being  diagnosis of advanced inoperable hypopharyngeal and base of tongue cancers with lymph node involvement and now FIVE YEARS later which is concidered cured, just shows if you never give up, good things can happen. It was a rough road to go down, but what an ending it had. Please celebrate big time. You both deserve it............
