Re: [TMIC] An unpleasant subject.
Well, I know two folks who have survived cancer of the larinx. (Yeah, close but no cigar .. ;). Both are alive and well. One is 63 y.o., the other 74. I know you can beat it as well, Mike.

Dear Mike, I am so very sorry to hear that you have been diagnosed with this rare disease. And, yes, one would certainly think that TM in itself is enough. I have read your post 3 times, trying to absorb it. Most of us had never heard of TM when we were diagnosed with it, and I can imagine that most of us have little or no knowledge about this. I did find a great deal of information on the Mayo Clinic site. I prayed for you tonight, and please know that you will continue to be in my prayers. You are going to beat this thing. Knowledge is Power. The University of Washington is among the very best, so you're in good hands. You will be in my thoughts as you meet with the doctor Friday. Please update when you can.

My dear TM family, Just when you thought we had enough bad things happening, I manage to get diagnosed with Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma. Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma is a cancer of the sinus. It is very uncommon, not only in this country but in this part of the world. It usually occurs in oriental males. Like my primary doctor says, Leave it to you to get something weird. I guess I am going to have to do some more research on the family genealogy to find out where this one came from. Normal treatment for this type of cancer is chemotherapy and radiation. We are, at this time, getting a primary cancer care doctor and from there one who will oversee the chemo and radiation. I am going to beat this thing, but to do this I need all the help I can get. If you would all put me in your prayers it would be appreciated. I will do my best to keep everyone updated on a regular basis. Emails and calls are welcome, Email address is 3jmhamm...@clearwire.net and home phone is 360 658 5878. I am going to continue to work as I can, but I usually get pretty tired early in the afternoon. I have an appointment on Friday with a doctor at the University of Washington, and hope to know more by then. The really weird thing is that if you look this up online it comes back as being related, somehow, to Epstein-Bar Virus, and notes an immune system problem. Sound familiar? Does this mean I have been blessed once again? I don't have the email address for Dr. Kerr, but I figure he might be interested in this. If someone would forward this, please Take care everyone, Mike
Re: [TMIC] An unpleasant subject.
Mike, I know well how it is to always get something. When I was young I got bit by a snake and got mercury poisoning which never really leaves your system so when got bit by the mosquito and got encephalitis, I woke from the coma paralyzed from the jaw down with TM BUTwe must always pray for the best and I will surely keep you and the rest of our TM family in my prayers. I pray for a complete and speedy recovery for you. Ella
