Update


Hi All, Thanks for all your well wishes, your support and sweet thoughts they mean so much to me.

I actually talked to my dads doctor today and got lots more information: Here is what I know.

It seems as though his cancer is behind his tongue locate above his vocal cords near his Epiglottis, they will laser around it and try to get as much as they can. He will be in the hospital a couple days so they they can make sure he can swallow since the Epiglottis is the flap that opens the esophagus so food can pass through when swallowing. It's a flap that closes on the trachea so you do not choke. Then I have to drive him home to Myrtle Beach and get him straight.

Then in 6 weeks he has to go back and get a neck section done, which is where they do exploratory surgery to make sure the cancer has not spread to any other parts of his throat or neck. He will be in the hospital another couple of days. I explained my situation as far as distance and life and he thinks I should be there for that as well. We will see.

That will be 4 weeks after my own surgery so we will have to play that one by ear. And then there's the giant cyst On my ovary that needs to be removed. OH!! and I think there is a Major Holiday in there somewhere!!!

Enough Doctor Stuff:

Please come back tomorrow, YMBD 2nd round challenge will start tomorrow, so come back and vote for your favorite. I will post the link. Hopefully I will make it to the 3rd round and be able to participate.

Love ya'll - Thank You Again

For some reason I can't see the vote button. I am at the bottom and all there is are entries. This happened last time.
