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'.

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma in the news
Tim Pearson, resident of New Zealand, is featured in the Sunday Star Times in an article written by Karen Kotze: Death verdict held by lust for life http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/sundaystartimes/auckland/4646971a6016.html. Even though his ACC has progressed dramatically, Mr. Pearson keeps his sense of humor and love for life and his family. As a fellow ACC fighter, I thank him for sharing his strength with the rest of us, and wish him the very best. Should I come into a pot of money in this life, I would love to start sending checks out to every person diagnosed with ACC - this man should be able to have his cable tv, for goodness sake!
