May 2014

I'm a home.

Got everything in my cheek with clear margins.

Tumor was smaller than anticipated.

Will get the results for the neck biopsy next week.

No major skin grafting and no vein resection.

I was hitting the milestones early (swallowing, taking meds by mouth, tolerating food, using the bathroom) so they let me come home a day early.

My neck incision was already itching - a very good sign.

My neck looks like something from a horror movie though.

Like I went through barbed wired was how my brother-in-law described It.

Thank you for all your well wishes and good thoughts!!

Meant a lot to me!!!!
