ing like that - I mean, it's just a finger, and this type
of cancer is very unlikely to spread. Bad news is - well, it's
what you hold the guitar pick with, so SOMETHING's gonna have
to change there... i'm sure i'll still be able to play, but
probably not like I can now. Right-hand stuff on the keyboard's

nd, I'm just a bit pissed (OK,
MASSIVELY pissed) that I'm not going to be able to play
anything at the level I currently am able to - in which case,
what's the point?
Anyway, here's the Weird Question part: I'm going in for the
surgical consult on Tuesday, and the Doc is going to give me
three different options, essentially (he gave me a run-down
over the phone) and what I need to decide is "How much of my
finger do I want to lose?" The least-invasive is a thing called
Mohs' Surgery, for which he has a specialist at his practice
(whom I'll get to talk to on Tuesday). It takes off the least
amount of tissue, and in the case of my particular situation,
wouldn't remove any bone, either. Two other options would
involve complete surgical romoval of a portion of the entire
section of the finger, down past the first joint, or even
further.
SO... the wierd question is: Do any of you know any musicians
with a prosthetic finger? Doesn't matter what instrument they
play at this stage, I'm just trying to get an idea of if I have
to make a choice of losing a small part of it or losing a
larger part of it, which is better when it come

s to a
prosthesis, because I want to look into that, as well. The Doc
says any of these methods would work in my case, because of
where it's located & that it's still small in size & hasn't
spread much, so I don't really have to be concerned
about "which one will be most effective?" IOW, I need to find
out how much is not enough, how much is too much, and how much
is "just right" for being able to effectively employ a
prosthesis from a musician's standpoint. Might help me make a
more educated decision.
Anyway, if anybody knows of anyone, that'd be great; I'd sure
appreciate it.

missing an entire arm. Many greats were blind or lost their sight. I didn't
see them slowing down so I cannot imagine you will slow/stop if you love
what you do. I believe you will prevail, and though you may not play the
same way, I bet you'll find new ways and new things that are unique and
possibly better if that is to be the way. We're amazing creatures when
called upon to be.
All the best things man.

Geez, this might seem obvious, but have you googled keywords in combos?

Neil,
If your doctors agree you have the same prognosis with the
least invasive surgery it sounds like that's the way to go.
I should think the prosthetic work being done today is fairly
custom. They'll make it work for you if you tell them your needs.
On a side note, I am a guitarist also and really did a good job=20
of mangling my left hand index finger with a hedge trimmer. Right
where it touches the strings... I played incredibly differently for
6-8 months. I couldn't really use it at all without it feeling like the
flesh would tear off again. It was difficult at first then I realized I =
was playing
some things better because of it. I tried lots of ideas and the other =
fingers
adapted better than I would have guessed. The music suffered at first =
but shortly
thereafter became more exciting because of the challenge.
You'll get through it either way but make sure you choose what is right =
for longevity!!!
