Steve is doing well considering. During the neck dissection at the University of Colorado, Dr. McEntire removed 12 cancerous lymph nodes near the esophogus and arteries in his neck, and a few tumors. One of which was completely wrapped around one of the nerves that controls your speech and swollowing.

He will probably have some scaring, because of the severity, but Dems the Berries! Take care!
