Prep for surgery

Master Sgt. Mike Sanders, pictured here with children Shawn and Jenna, before going into surgery to remove cancer from his neck and throat in 2007. Sergeant Sanders had lost some of his epiglottis, part of the right pharyngeal wall, and a neck muscle along with over 40 lymph nodes. Eating was impossible right away. It was done through a feeding tube direct to his stomach. (Photo courtesy Master Sgt. Mike Sanders)
