The waiting is driving me mad!!

So the tumour(s) are not large - but there are two of them. One is about 2cm and the other 1.5cm. Both were removed by the oral surgeon doing the biopsy and number one tumour has come back. While waiting for the CTs etc, it has regrown to about 1.5cm. But the surgeon will treat the entire area as one tumour of approximately 3.5cm and then cut a healthy margin around it. But I will not need a graft, and it won't be past the midline so I'm taking that as very good.

They are both on the right lateral side of my tongue...

They also said that I wouldn't have a trach - I think in comparison to what some of you have have been through, this is peanuts... I wish I could feel like it was peanuts though...

Thanks for the well wishes...
