Frank Amodeo's throat cancer forces him to eat through a hole in his stomach. Loren Lowery, a Vietnam veteran, has had part of his tongue cut out and his jaw replaced twice.

Bring your dog to work, decorate your workspace with Gundam robots and Darth Maul action figures, drink all the Mountain Dew you can stomach.
