This is my place to relate my experiences with cancer treatment, as well as share resources that may be helpful to fellow oral, head, and neck cancer survivors. I was diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma of the left parotid on June 30, 2006. My goal is to continue enjoying the Nebraska Good Life. I call this blog the "Cheeky Librarian", since the cancer was discovered in my cheek, I am a librarian, and many that know me say I fit the slang use of the word 'cheeky'.

Easing off from the thoughts of cancer's return
It has been over a month since my craniectomy, and a few weeks since the great news of a cancer-free biopsy, but I still have to work each day to get relaxed and enjoy the season. It is like I had some military Threatcon exercise, begun with the words "we found a suspicious lesion", and ended with "no cancer found, go home and continue healing". Not all troops in my head have yet heard the news that we went back from Threatcon Delta to Threatcon Alpha. I doubt if I ever get back to Threatcon Normal - that status was eliminated with the initial diagnosis of cancer last year.
Catching up on your blog today (we've been out of our offices all week due to remodeling!) I like the miltary speak. It's an excellent way to capture what you're going through.
