Today we are going to my cousins benefit game. In the beginning of September my 21 year old cousin got diagnosed with tongue cancer. She had surgrey to remove the cancer and the doctors did get it all out. She is now cancer free but still has to do radiation for 6 more weeks just to be sure.
Today they are having a benefit volleyball game at her old school. She did play volleyball all through her highschool years. She also played softball and ended up playing 3 years of softball and 1 year of volleyball in college. She just finished college and was going to start living a full life when she found out she had cancer.
This type of cancer is normally found in people that are 60 years or older and that have smaoked all their life. Well she is only 21 and has never smoked.
When she had surgrey the doctor broke her jaw and cut a portion of her tongue out and took some skin from her leg for her tongue.
She is a gorgeous young lady and is going to start living her life now. They are raising money for her and we wish the luck for her. WE ALL LOVE YOU AMANDA!!!!!
PS- I am named after her. We look a lot alike. At birth I was born on the same day as her and looked just like her when she was born.
