in Head and Neck Cancer #1
Just got a call from Stanford. Surgery this Friday at 7:30 a.m. Dr. Sunwoo will be doing surgery. Glad I didn't unpack. On the road again Thursday.
FYI surgery is a neck dissection, lump on neck, mets to last years cancer.

    Tempo still intact
    I'm glad they got you in after the cancellation. We have all experienced some similarly perceived setback with delays and broken machines. It is important to keep your momentum going during the skirmish's which you will shortly kick butt on this one. The dissection can encompass a relatively easy time to several days in the hospital depending on extent of dissection, lymph nodes removed, your current health and nerves affected.

    Will keep you in prayer, especially this Friday. I know I wanted that mess out of me, and it was a long wait for me. Good luck!
