Peter Tork, former member of the hugely popular 60's pop group The Monkees and current bandleader of blues-rock band Shoe Suede Blues announced Tuesday that he has recently been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer, Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma. This uncommon and generally slow-growing form of head and neck cancer is most frequently found in the salivary glands but in his case was discovered on the lower region of the tongue.

1. Peter had his surgery today

and it had not spread beyond the original site.

Best to Peter for a full recovery! :hug:

On March 3, 2009, Tork reported on his Web site that he had been diagnosed with Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma, a rare, slow-growing form of head and neck cancer. Tork underwent extensive surgery March 4 in New York City. A preliminary biopsy discovered that the cancer had not spread beyond the initial site.
