Science has come a long way since then and I am sure she'll have great care. Sending up prayers that the surgeon can get it all and it hasn't spread any farther.

Hey Wiz! Sorry I'm seeing this late, but please know that I will keep Tina and your family in my prayers. Such a hard thing to be going through; hopefully it is contained and her prognosis will be good.

Remember my dear friend, Wiz~~ one day at a time. Take care of you, too!

Tina's surgery is at noon on Monday at Rush-Presbyterian in Chicago. Please say a prayer for her.

I spent Friday night with Tina, her sister Angie and my sister Linda. I met Tina's boyfriend Dave too and he's a sweetheart of a gem.

We laughed until our sides hurt (as we usually do when we get together). And we listened to Tina's concerns and the events of the past several weeks.

She had her first good night's sleep since the diagnosis she said. It was so good to see her and all of them. We don't get together enough but that's going to change. Life is too short.

Wiz, I'm praying for Tina and for you, too. Please let us know how things went and how she's recovering.

Thumbs Up Thank you all for your prayers!

Tina did well with the surgery!! It lasted 4 1/2 hours and the doctor thinks he got it all. He's 80% sure it was just the lump and the spot on her tongue. He's sending it for biopsy to make sure it hasn't spread to the lungs. In 20% of people it does I guess.

She'll have radiation treatments to her neck and if it's in the lungs, one round of chemo. If it's only in the neck, then he said it should be 100% cured with the radiation.

She didn't need a trachiotomy or a feeding tube. He said she's young and strong so she should recover well.

Since he had to remove a lot of muscle from her neck, she'll need physical therapy to regain use of her shoulder.

Thank God she's going to be ok. I'm hopeful that she's in the 80% group.

Glad her surgery is over, Wiz. Sure hope the worst is behind her now.

Will continue to keep Tina and your family in my prayers.
