Welcome to my blog

Soon after I was diagnosed with Tonsil Cancer, my Mom found a webpage from a guy named Raph who lives in the UK who was also diagnosed with Tonsil Cancer. His webpage gave me the idea to start this blog as a way of putting down my thoughts on a daily basis, storing pertinent information from doctors and keeping family/friends updated.

Please bear with me through this process as this is my first blog and I'm kind of blindly setting this up and getting the info posted.

This page will be updated whenever I have new information which hopefully will be on a regular basis. I have a lot of catching up to do, so this will be very basic and over the next couple months it will become more detailed with further links and photos. Again, I got this idea from a cancer patient named Raph who lives in Suffolk, UK. He is married with three sons and was diagnosed with Tonsil Cancer in 2003. His last post was in September of 2006 and he reports that everything is great so far, and for the last 6 months he has been clear.

Hi from Mom...thinking about you this morning, as I do most of the time. So many of our friends and acquaintances here in Tucson have asked about you and you're on the prayer chains in half a dozen groups here - hope all the love that is going your way makes your day a little bit better. Hang in there - we know it's going to be a tough road, but you can do this, with help from us all. Stay the course!

Hey Senior Chief~
Walk with that bottle of water like you did with that cup of coffee on the USS Vinson. You and the family are in my thoughts and prayers. You need any "Aloha" from here you just let me know what you would like. Care packages are good for the soul!!!!
Aloha,
