I am leaving for Portland in the wee hours of the morning, we want to beat the holiday traffic, we being one of my sisters and one of my brothers. My brother has a very long and intense surgery on Tuesday and we would aappreciate any prayers and good juju you can send. 20 months ago he had his lower jaw replaced with a bone from his left leg, he had a melinoma cancer, he had chemo and radiation. This time he has a carcinoma cancer tumor the size of a lemon in his lower left jaw. He also has a lession on his chin that goes from laugh line to laugh line, you can see the hardware from the previous surgery. He has to have a plastic surgeon to rebuild his chin, he will have the bone taken from his right leg, a portion of muscle taken from his forearm for a portion of his tongue that they will remove and he will have a skin graft from his hip for the lining of his mouth as well as for his chin, phew, that is a mouthful! Not only is that going on but my son has surgery on Wednesday here at home, boy oh boy. I am praying for the best outcome for both.
Thank you to everyone
Tammy

Your brother sounds like a real fighter. I'll keep he and your family in my thoughts. It has to be a real blessing to him to have his family with him. It's so nice y'all could make the trip for him. My nephew had his bone marrow transplant and he is doing really great, now. I know how hard this is on the entire family. ((hugs))

Thank you all for the good juju. Today is a hard day for our family because today is the anniversary of the loss of a niece and nephew, sister and brother, in a car accident. He is in surgery, three hours down, twelve more to go.
