    Thanks isn't enough
    Hi all,

    As I sit here reading all the outpouring of love from all you, I have tears falling on my laptop. I met with the onco today and it appears I actually have two tumors...one above in the palette and one in the tonsil area. she has already set it up for me to get fitted for the (horrors) mask from hell on Monday the 23rd. I will find out about the chemo next week. My onco said this needs to be hit hard and fast as these tumors were not visible 7 weeks ago.

    I want to share a funny story with all of you. Everyone comments on my attitude and I wanted to explain where I get it. I am of scotch-irish-french descent. Apparently I was the most bull headed kid growing up. My family says if I had a notion to do something I did it regardless of whether I was punished or not. Apparently I would take my punishment and then proceed to do whatever it was I was doing to begin with. My nick name growing up?..Johnny Bull..lol. So when I put my mind to it, I guess there is no stopping me. I also credit my father (gone 11 years now after a 3 year battle of colon cancer). My father never gave up. Even with a full colonostomy and wearing a bag, he continue to play softball and bowl right up till 6 weeks before he lost the fight. O by the way..did I tell you I was red headed? LOL.

    So I am sitting here amazed with all of your positive attitudes and well wishes and prayers and am very thankful for finding you all. You all have given me strength with your positive attitudes. Pam..this game may have gone into extra innings but I will win. Glenna, Scam, Greg, Hondo, Kimba,Joel,Hal ...all of you. God bless you and know you are all in my prayers. Debbie..I took note of your number and be prepared..I will call. I wish we could all get together and meet as this would be most awesome to me. But for now I will be content to "see" you all this way. Hugs to all you.

    Debbie

    ps..Dragon, you will get thru this..Please let me know how everything goes.

    I had to larf
    Debbie I had to larf when your read the above. I am Irish and was always known as the "bold one" as I did exactly as you did, so I would blame that headstrong behaviour on the Irish lol. I had nasal septum carcinoma and when they found it they said they were going to "throw the kitchen sink at it" as it was an aggresive bugger. After treatment I felt as though they threw the bathroom sinks at it too lol. Debbie that was almost 5 years ago. You keep that bull headed attitude and it will keep you in good stead.

    Again good luck with your forthcoming battle.

    To Irish

    I agree with Tricia about being Irish. I,m not but my husband is. Reading your comments about growing up I felt I was listening to my husband talk about his 7 siblings.

    Debbie attitude is more than half the battle. And with your attitude you will prevail.

    It's heartbreaking to hear the news but prayers do work and with so many people praying for you I believe you will beat this.

    My husband is 8 months out of Rx and doing very very well. The Irish are stubborn and strong.

    My prayers are with you as they are for eveyone on this network of brave and courageous people.

    God Bless you
