Squamous cell carcinoma caused by the HPV virus. That made it easier to treat. I was given a forty percent chance of survival. So far so good.

At VA they automatically send you to the shrink. That’s a nice perk for us veterans.

If you are a primary care giver, be sure to do something nice for yourself. You don’t want to burn out.
