Its Back!
I'm just thankful I was able to postpone for a few weeks. Doc not happy but I need a few weeks to prepare. Mostly tell the kids again.... thats the hardest part. Watching their faces go from carefree to instant worry.

Not Again
Hi, Donna. Just a few weeks ago, I received that same news. After an "all clear", I found another lump that my ENT thought was suspicious and he wanted to remove it. So, once again, he opened up my neck and the second lump was also malignant. So, I fully understand the roller coaster of emotions that must be going through your head right now. Please add my best wishes and prayers to the many kind people on this site who are also pulling for you. Let's all beat this thing and enjoy our life and loved ones.

So sorry to hear the news of your upcoming surgery but I am praying that you will do well and it will be gone this time.
Telling your family, especially your children, is one of the hardest thing anyone will ever do but it sounds like your kids are handling it as well as can be expected. Good news about your boss also.
I will keep you and your family in my prayers. Please keep us updated on how you are doing.
Stay strong,

If your hypothermia question didn't get answered, google "Hyperthermia", or do the same with Wikipedia. I'm not familiar with it.
Sorry to hear of this setback, girl. Be strong, for yourself, and your family. They're with you 100%, as are we, and they'll provide all the love and help you will need. Know you are in all of our Prayers, Donna.

Donna, Have you heard about hyperthermia for head and neck cancer?
Thanks for the info. I went to the Valley Cancer Institute web site. They actually heat the cancer and also use low doses of Rads at the same time. It sounds like a lot of people have had great success with this type of treatment. I will brings this up to my ENT this week to see what he says.
My first surgery they used a co2 laser and froze the tongue. It looked freezer burned for weeks on end. I did not think my tongue would ever turn pink again. The last few have been surgeries. (I feel pretty lucky for that)
I have noticed in the last few months I have been having more of dry mouth problem. They did say that the saliva gland on the right side was thickening and a little swollen and they gave me salagen to help with that and it has. But still swollen and sore. But that was before they decided to do surgery. My doctors did not like the path report and said they need to remove more. Not sure how much. I guess i wont know until after surgery!0 -
