Thanks for the kind wishes from everyone. I have my appointment on Thursday at 10.00am......it's only three days away but feels like an eternity. I can't believe how quick this cancer can grow, as well as lumps on the left side of my jaw and neck, where I had radiation previously, I now have one on the right side. I'm not sure if this was one of the three lesions that showed up on the MRI, so I will ask on Thursday.

I am quite nervous about this appt. but will be glad to start moving on any treatment that they may propose. I hate the fact that every day that I have to wait makes the lumps that little bit bigger and more invasive. I'm trying to stay positive but it sure drags you down waiting...and waiting...
