| Up for the task |
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'.

Update on fellow ACC wearer Shane Leonard
I wrote about Mr. Leonard's story back in 2012 http://cheekylibrarian.blogspot.com/2012/04/adenoid-cystic-carcinoma-in-news.html . His story recently hit the Attack ACC facebook page, so I went out to see if any other information on his progress was out there.
I located his LinkedIn page, which took me to his Twitter feed https://twitter.com/shane_w_leonard . Way to go, Shane - he is at Stanford! Here is another story about his mentorship with an MD Anderson physicist and how that led to his studying at Stanford: http://www.mdanderson.org/newsroom/cancer-newsline/cancer-newsline-topics/2012/mentoring-cnl.html . Keep on keeping on, Shane. A whole new bunch of people are out here, cheering you on, thanks to your story hitting the Attack ACC Facebook page this week: https://www.facebook.com/adenoid.cystic .
