Joined: Apr 2010 Posts: 201 | Hi everyone! Hope your day has been a great one! I have a question and was wondering if anyone else experienced this. My sisters dissolvable stitches in her mouth have been popping out. Actually 2 have. She went to the dr today and she said her tongue has split alittle and wants to wait a week and see what it does. Well tonight when she came home it started bleeding I would say about 3 tablespoons. She is going back to dr first thing in the morning. I am just curious if anyone else had this and what they are going to do. This was such an up and down day. Her path cameback with clear margins and no nodes but then tonight this happens. Welcome to the world of this wonderful disease I guess.
