Smalliebigs Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Wow I didn't even know!!!....I am glad to hear you are Cancer free. I know it's tough and gonna be a day to day thing as My wife is a Cancer survivor and almost died from an infection right after hysterectomy surgery. She had to have a second emergency surgery to remover 6.7 liters of White Blood cell material from her abdomen as she was dying from the abscess. Then she had 9 months of Chemo. I know it's a tough deal and as Billet head says it's all about your state of mind...."get busy living or get busy dying" Post cancer my wife has run the Chicago Marathon twice and made a massive career change and became a Nurse Practicioner.

jdmidwest Posted July 9, 2016 Author Posted July 9, 2016 Mine was all surgery. Removal of a third of my tongue, replaced it with muscle, skin, and artery from right forearm. 2 weeks with a trach and a feeding tube in my nose. 3 day weekend back in for an infected stitch in neck 4 weeks after surgery. But no chemical or radiation. I was very lucky. "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
