  1. Cafe Racer in Seattle, rampaged by a gunman yesterday, is owned by an old friend who has visited me in Prague. He's alive.
  2. @adigaskell Keep Czech TV turned on all the time, especially serials you have seen before in English, it's a great help for passive learning
  3. Thanks again to all for your positive thoughts, prayers and best wishes for a full recovery from cancer surgery next week.
  4. @PreppyDude Thanks, Duane, you are my inspiration!
  5. So I'll go to the hospital to have my cancerous tongue tumor removed by laser surgery next Wednesday morning, Prague time.
  6. @chriskottom I have all of the pre-op stuff out of the way, so tomorrow they will call me with a firm date, it'll probably be within a week.
  7. @madciapka @chriskottom The 3rd surgeon at Motol offered 2 types of surgeries, both more "modern" than others before him, I chose the laser.
  8. @jakubv Actually the latest news, that I can have laser surgery without losing too much of my tongue and also keeping my teeth is very nice.
  9. @madciapka Thanks, Dusan! Today's news from the surgeons at Motol about my laser surgery really gives me more hope for that quick recovery.
  10. A third opinion was crucial, at Motol in Prague they'll laser off my tumor & leave my tongue 70% intact, fully functional!
  11. @chriskottom I have only Czech VZP insurance, so I have nowhere else to go for treatment than here, but at least I have the best surgeon.
  12. @RoyBlumenthal I will schedule it next week, probably early in July.
  13. @reesmf Thanks Matthew, could have been even worse news, I am actually slightly relieved, and at least I should be able to talk and swallow.
  14. @bdgrlaw Thanks, I am also glad it was at least caught at stage one, could actually be much worse news.
  15. @evilgrrl Yes, but even worse things could happen. And it seems I will be able to talk and swallow OK after recovery from the surgery.
  16. @leighblue Shouldn't be too bad, considering the circumstances. I have my fingers crossed.
  17. @RoyBlumenthal Shouldn't be that bad, the surgeon really knows what he is doing, a Czech singer is still singing after such surgery as mine.
  18. @bdgrlaw Yes, stage one anterior tongue tumor. Could be worse, I'm lucky it was caught at this stage. Should talk and swallow OK afterwards.
  19. @RoyBlumenthal Thanks so much!
  20. @LubAPug No choice but to roll with it, really. I will get pain medicine, and should be able to talk and swallow again after recovery, so...
