Vickie's Story
Hi everyone. This is Vickie. I am married to Jimmy Hinesley. For those of you looking for him, I have no clue why MY name got on his, as I tried to enter his name and mine registered.
Jimmy got cancer of the floor of his mouth in 2005, and had 15 hrs. 21 min. surgery to remove it. They removed the floor of mouth and filleted his tongue in 1/2 like a fish, slit hit throat from ear to ear and removed the lymph nodes, then pulled all his bottom teeth and shaved the jawbone in 1/2 to remove a tumor that was over 2X3 INCHES and growing. A soft tissue graft was taken from his arm, along with an artery, that was connected from his tongue to his corrided for bloodflow to the tongue.

r 2 years and he also had a trach for just over a month. After 30 radiation treatments and 3 chemo treatments, he felt like he was going to die, but, as everyone who knows him, fought hard to live. He now has scars on his neck from the radition and talks with a slight speech impediment, but has his life.
He weighed 260 when this all happened and got down to 171. He now weighs 206 and can't grow a beard anymore and his face is shaped slightly different, but is doing really GREAT. Please feel free to leave a note to let him know you thought about him, he will like that.
He still hunts and wants to start fishing again and spends alot of time at our "hunting place" in East Texas, his second home!!
Thanks all,
Vickie Wright Hinesley
