Specificatii
Description Cancer categorized as "Head-and-Neck" does not get the
attention that it should. While not in the category of "most
common" cancers, it is among the most debilitating and deadly.
Head-and-Neck Cancer is very difficult to detect and to diagnose.
That is why it is almost always advanced--either Stage 3 or Stage
4--when diagnosed. Mine was Stage 4. Head-and-Neck Cancer is
described as "insidious," and is, in the opinion of many medical
professionals, unarguably the most painful of any cancers to treat.
The painful nature of the treatment is due to the massive amount of
radiation introduced into the oral cavity, throat, larynx, and

most morbid surgeries a person can undergo--surgeries which cause
nightmarish degradation to one's quality of life. While undergoing
cancer treatment, I chronicled my experience by sending e-mail
notes, initially, to a small group of family and friends. My
initial intimate sharing mushroomed, because many of them, in turn,
shared those notes far-and-wide. Many who received my notes told
me, "Don, you have a story to tell. I hope you will write a book
about your experience and include your e-mail updates "This is the
story of my fight with Stage 4 Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) at the
base of the tongue, which had metastasized into the neck. The
journey began with what was thought, at the time, to be a swollen
lymph node in the neck, to being diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer, and
