Hi I'm Lyn. I still speak with a slight lisp two years later...whats worse..Im a singer. Funnily enough, the only thing I CANT do when I sing is roll my R's...so no singing in French or Italian! So yes, it does get better. As far as those who make remarks...either poke your 'now cancer free' tongue out at them, and tell them to get a life OR to watch out, as you initially injured your tongue BITING a STUDENT who gave you back talk! heheh Only you need to know the truth. Life vs Death vs Stoopid insensitive remarks from morons? I choose Life (with attitude!) heh heh! Ignore the morons!
