As promised, I have returned to explain my second cancer journey.
On October 30th I was diagnosed with a mouth cancer titled Squamous
Carcinoma.
On November 18th I had a appointment with my doctor/surgeon Amit
Aqrawal at The James Cancer Hospital in Columbus, Ohio.
There is good and bad news today. The good news is that it is very curable.
98%. I'll take it. I have several pre-surgery appointments and surgery is
scheduled for December 19th, 2019.
TREATMEMT
On December 19th, 2019 I will have part of my jaw bone removed and
replaced with bone from my leg. It will be approximately a 10 hour surgery. I
will be hospitalized from 7 to 10 days. I will not be able to eat or drink for a
period after surgery. Nor will I be able to breath correctly so a trakia will be
inserted as well as the feeding tube(s) for a while afterwards. While I continue
to wrap my head around all this - I will feed off your support - prayers - and
well wishes. I thank you so much for them. I shall miss being home for
Christmas, but as the saying goes. "You do what you gotta do."
I must dwell on the outcome of once again being cured of this nasty stuff.

leading up to surgery
A prayer for me and for
those struggling ....
Dear Lord,
I am so grateful that you are bigger than my fears.
You are bigger than the anxious feelings that won't
seem to subside. You are with me (Isaiah 41:40.) You
are all-knowing and all-powerful. Because I know all
of this to be true, I will trust you and your perfect
plan. I make the choice right now to reject the
paralyzing feeling of fear so I can walk confidently
in the truth of your assurance. Calm my thoughts,
Father, and give me your peace in this moment.
