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
Sad news from Whitehall, PA. Julie Duttine died on December 7th. She was a young mom fighting ACC while supporting her son Jaden through his cancer treatment (I posted about them last January). The family asks for memorial donations to the Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh or to St. Gabriel's School. My deepest sympathy goes to her family during this very sad time. Julie's strength was and still is an inspiration to me.
