Hi every one,

It's been a long time.. just been reading and keeping up with every one.

I have had both my hips replaced and getting around really well. Moved into a condo., transfered to a new job.. enjoying life as we know it.

Now I am freeking a little.

My up date is not all that good.


I am having a biopsy on Monday
for two spots on my tonsil. Other thing are making me feel this is a secondary cancer. Weight loss, taste change, pain, I first saw the spot in june and we have been watching it... didn't look or feel like cancer. Now there are two. The second is not soft.

I am planning my fight if needed. I am close to Vanderbilt and St. Louis. My brother is in St Louis so that is the way I am leaning. Any one have experience at those locations?

Do we know anyone who has gone to Cancer Centers of America.?

Any of us with a secondary cancer that isn't BC?

Will keep you up dated.

Thanks ALice

can stand up under it."
