My name is Gary and I have cancer. Boy, what a sentence to write much less to say. Sometimes it's surreal.....the doctor's, the appointments, the procedures and oh yes - that mass on my neck. Although I can recite the medical lingo pretty easily now, the word is still "surreal". Not necessarily dreamlike, not really like anything that I have felt or experienced before. As a matter of fact, except for my companion (the mass), I feel great!
So, that's enough for now. Say prayers, keep happy thoughts and check back soon.
P.S. For the medically curious, my diagnosis is squamous cell carcinoma with an occult primary.
