The following is Raymie’s story:



“In mid July I noticed some pain while eating and my throat just felt weird. A few days latter I felt a bump next to my jaw line. I made an appointment with a general practitioner and was referred to a specialist for more tests. After a few appointments with a ear, nose and throat specialist I had blood work done and had multiple CT scans. I then had a biopsy where they took pieces of my mouth and throat.



The pieces were tested and I was immediately told that I had throat cancer. I will now have to begin chemotherapy and radiation for 5 days a week that will last for 6 weeks. After that I will have 4 weeks of recovery. I will try to make it in to a nearby LA Basin facility to perform admin duties, but I won’t always be strong enough.”
