Start here

Well, this is a first for us, starting this blog, and we are trying it because so many friends have wanted to help us, and find out what the newest development is in this fight against the cancer.
To start at the beginning, Diane was diagnosed with Squamous cell carcinoma (cancer) when she went in for a sore throat/enlarged lymph node in the neck. After taking out her tonsil, they discovered it was cancer, and it metastisized (spread) to the lymph node on her neck.
The doctors feel that this might have been caused by the radiation she had 17 years ago for Hodgkins Lymphoma. (which is cancer of the lymph system). Hodgkins is a very curable type of cancer, if you were to pick one to get, that would be the one.
