I am a 49 year old male living in Vancouver,Washington. This blog will follow my daily trip to Oregon Health and Science University , where I am having radiation therapy for cancer of the head and neck area. My cancer was found in my tongue and also in my neck lymph nodes.
I also have a very rare condition called Morphea. It is a form of scleroderma, which is a condition that hardens the skin of your body. My Morphea is a very severe case that I have been livin with for 5 years. It has spread to my legs, feet, arms, neck , face, and stomach areas. When I was scheduled for surgery, my doctors were not able to find any information about Morphea as it relates to cancer . This included no information fo treatmen such as radiation therapy.
I am writing this blog for a few reasons. The first is to help anyone else who may have the same conditions I have and they have no one to turn to for information. I am also doing this for self therapy. I want to be able to see my progress and I think it will help me get through this whole 35 treatment plan. The other reason to write this blog is for family and friends who want to know what my wife and I are going through with a daily update.
So, here we go with day 1.
