Frank’s road to recovery
This page is dedicated to keeping our friends and family up to date with Frank’s battle to beat Cancer.
He was diagnosed in late November with a tumor at the base of his tongue and lymph nodes and has been through radiation and chemotherapy. At this point he has lost about 20 pounds and is dealing with the side effects of radiation such as loss of taste buds, raw/sore throat and list goes on. Our next step is to visit a dentist and have a full set of dentures made.
