My name is Jerry and I am 32 & live in West Virginia.This makes the 3rd time I have had cancer.The 1st 2 times were at ages 14 and 17 and it was nasal pharyngeal carcinoma.Well I survived that and now 14 years later and I have throat cancer from the radiation and chemo amounts I had before.I went thru so much and lost so many friends from the pediatric oncology ward before that I figured this time I had better look for some support ,So that is what brings me here.

Sherri I decided to fill in the blanks for ya about me.When I signed up I didn’t tell alot about me ,what I like to do or my cancer so here it is ;).I was diagnosed as a teenager with Nasal Pharangeal Carcinoma,Which is a kind of rare cancer other places than where I live.My area has around 70,000 people in the Northern panhandle of West Virginia and in the last 17 or 18 years ,There have been approximately 6 cases but thing is Nasal Pharyngeal Carcinoma is only supposed to run in in 1 or 2 peaople in that amount of time.I started making and playing guitars in 1990 when I was first diagnosed.I moved on to building all kinds of stringed instruments.I am a supporter of the use of Medical Marijuana ,Which doesnt make me very poular around here because I support it only for the sick.I have never been married but would love to find the right woman but I have not found a lot that can look past the things the cancer has done to me and the fact I look after my parents both of whom are disabled.I am a big supporter of ther arts,I am a quiet person except on here .The net lets me express myself and outside of the Net I don’t.I don’t know what stage or type of cancer I have yet other than it is in my throat and caused me not to be able to talk Which are a couple of the reasons I call myself whisper.Well I hope this lets you know a little more about me.
