Hi Folks
    He was on Lettermans show the other day and told everyone he has throat cancer stage 4 .We don't know the whole story yet on what tests ect. ect .BUT this man has all kinds of money and the best doctors MAYBE around BUT that didn't help him .The doctors missed my HGD for 9 months they missed his cancer for months and HE KEPT TELLING THEM THERE"S SOMETHING WRONG ..I'm very sorry for him and there is a small chance he can beat this . Keep an eye on your doctors go to another if your don't like yours .

His cancer is on his tongue - a tumour the size of a walnut.
He has an 80% survival chance. (cf <10% for Oesophageal adenocarcinoma)
He blames years of smoking and drinking.

How did it get so far and no one saw it . I get my teeth cleaned every 4 months , first thing she looks for is cancer because I still drink and USE to smoke 12 cigars a day.

THANKS JEFF

   Thanks for posting the link I've watched it like 5x on my DVR ..I did the same thing (turned green)when the the halo doctor told me you have HGD barrettes not just barrettes .I asked my doctor how could the first GI miss this after 23 biopises ?? He replyed " I DON"T SEE HOW ".. Good doctors are hard to come by that's why I'll be flying 500 miles to see mine this week ..

Take care , HGD JEFF
