Cheeky Librarian

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'.

9 years post-diagnosis

Yeah, I know - I just mentioned that in the previous post. I figure this is news of a type to repeat! We just visited one of our favorite hiking sites - the Wichita Mountains National Wildlife Refuge. It was wonderful experiencing summer in Oklahoma again. As I go about my daily life (which is all I wished for during cancer treatment and recovery!), I will leave you with this scene of Mt. Scott to rest your eyes.

Another lap nearly completed

Life post-diagnosis can still be
a mixed up bowl of cherries!

June 30 will be mark 9 years since I received the news that the pain I had had for 3 years was due to cancer. I am so happy to still be casting a shadow and paying taxes. I am blessed to have copious amounts of family and friend support, and a wonderful career at a great world-class medical center that allows me to help others seeking information resources on their own care questions. Getting ready to go out and celebrate another year gone by post-diagnosis. Wishing all dads a good Father's Day, too!
