I am hoping she might beable to have some surgery and live a little longer, I guess it will all depend how bad it is and whether Dave wants to put her through all that or not, whatever it will be a hard time for him, Dave has a hard life at times, he is disabled with polio as a child, but he continues to work two jobs, except he has been unable because of all his surgery lately, this is a real blow to him, I am so worried how he will get through it all, I know if I were there in person I could help him, it is so darn fustrating being so far away, and being able to do so little, he has been my friend for over three years now, and I am hoping for the best, I read most mouth tumours are malignant, so I am hoping it is in the early stages, Thanks Val and all for your kind words of support and understanding, I know I can always rely on PT to help me with anything in my life, and thats why it is so special to me.
