Great news!
There's a longer version in my blog but the brief version is this: my surgeries are done and I'm recovering well. The cancer turned out to be less extensive than believed, limited to the small tumor they removed from the base of my tongue and not in my lymph nodes. I won't be needing chemo or radiation after all! Michael and I are doing a happy dance!
