I’m taking my mother to Jefferson University Hospital tomorrow for a biopsy and a consult at her ENT’s referral. She has a rapidly growing parotid tumor - and they suspect squamous cell. That’s a bad one. It happened so fast, she is in shock.

Interesting. One branch of my fathers family was 300+ pounders and smoked like chimney's. They all lived well into their late 70’s and my granddad into his 80’s. They all rolled their own from a pouch.

I still think smoking is bad, but genetics are key. Unfortunately I got most of my genes from my mothers side.They didn't smoke and lived good lives but not extraordinarily long ones

My father-in-law is 85 and still smokes..................

I’m doing okay. I have finished 9 months of a 5 year drug regimen... it’s a long road. The drug makes me tired and causes food to taste odd, but those are really small things when compared to the alternative.

Thank you for asking.

Very good. Hugs.

Aw, I am so sorry for your daughter.

Breast cancer is a tough diagnosis, especially the triple negative type. I hope that she is well enough for the trial study.

The treatments probably won’t help him. But he wants to help patients in the future by allowing the doctors to study his condition and try new things.

Before my mother-in-law died from breast cancer, she enrolled in some experimental protocols. I mentioned this to one of my oncologists, who commented that it is because of the bravery of people like my mother-in-law that we have such improved breast cancer treatments now.

Your son is very brave. Many prayers for him.

Thank you very much.

Disagreements just come from different perspectives. We are still all on the same side.
