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!
Who links to my website?
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'.
The views expressed here are mine alone and do not reflect the opinion of my employer or your Internet supplier.
If you are reading this blog for the first time
Click on 2006 in the Blog Archive below to read about my initial cancer treatment issues - radiation side effects, dietary, fatigue - and how I dealt with them. The coping methods and information sources are shared in the hopes they will be useful to others that are following in the cancer treatment pathways.
