Today, my oral surgeon called me with the news that problems I have been having with my teeth is due to cancer in my jawbone. The shock of that phone call is something you will never forget, but I remember thinking that if this was true, all I could do is work with the medical team I was sure to meet and do the best I could to survive it. If it all works, fine, if not - well, I have lived a pretty good life, and we all go sometime, maybe this is my time.
My wife, Cheryl, who went through cancer many years ago, simple told me I was going to be fine. How she knew this, I will never know - but her positive attitude helped get me started on the path we would take.
I did not start this blog until I was part the surgery, which was actually something of a non-event, and ready to go through the real treatments. I added this material just to complete the story.
