Once more into the breech............

I met with my Dr yesterday and he had some options for me. We are going to try and do some laser surgery to see if we can remove the last of the cancer without taking more than about a quarter of my vocal cords. This will allow me to be able to talk, although I will not be a candidate for American Idol. He is pretty sure he can do it that way. If it doesn't work than he will have to do a complete removal of my vocal cords.

I believe in and trust my Dr but I am getting a second opinion from another Dr here on the Island. We are shooting for the first week of Sept for this next surgery.

Thank you all in advance for your kind thoughts, words, prayers, and counsel. I truly appreciate them,

Good Luck, Good Lending, and Aloha
