Three years ago I awoke after 6 days of bleeding out in IBC to the words, "you have 2-3 days to live". An oncologist / radiologist had saved my life by blasting me with radiation. He told me I could make it one, possibly two more years with 8 more weeks of radiation in the face for salivary gland cancer which was ~5" long. I'm still fighting, I win in the summers, the winters are a toss up. Writing music is a very special time for me now :)
