Larry's Leuko Logbook, Part 1: Meeting My Nemesis
This episode of TFJ brings a personal story I hope will promote your well-being. I’ve entitled it “Larry’s Leuko Logbook.” I’ll be sharing my experience with oral cancer. My experience has been part confusing, part frustrating, part frightening, and part amazing--and maybe all those at once. My hope is to share a story that will help you cope with troubles, get some crazy thoughts off my chest, and entertain a bit.
Leukoplakia is my nemesis, a growth of painful cells that can lead to cancer, that appeared on my innocent tongue in the Fall of 2022. The story involves family, friends, medical professionals, treatments, mood swings, mortality, and yes, God.
