Hello to all my new subscribers: The tumor I had on the base of my tongue (squamous cell carcinoma stage 4a) is completely gone according to the latest PET scan. The doctor says that the tumor being completely gone is much better then just being in remission; because in remission the tumor is still there but has stoped growing. I have another PET the 20th of February to make sure the lymph node in my neck is still shrinking so that I don't have to have the major operation (radical neck dissection) which the doctors told me I most certainly *would* have to have but I persevered and kept telling them that it was shrinking which the last PET scan confirmed that it wasn't still growing; but the 20th of this month I will know for sure and then I will be getting back to writing music. For the new fans here is a link to some of my poetry. It covers several different genera's and there is probably something for everyone: http://home.roadrunner.com/~dinosoft/poems/ I will send out another update before the end of February. -- From the Desk of Paul M.
