Testing Done

I have spend three days at M. D. Anderson Cancer Center and have been cleared for surgery.  On October 1 the surgery will be done to remove the tumor from my tongue.  If it is shallow then they will remove it, sew me up, and send me home.  If it is deeper then they will also remove my lymph nodes from my neck and then schedule me for radiation.  Radiation in the mouth is truly a life changing event and I earnestly pray that I will not have to have that.
