Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | Well Les, it seems i have joined the reoccurence crew now. I knew I had it back for some reason and told the Dr about the trouble I have been having. He gave me orders for a PetScan which I had the 5th of Dec. Sure as shootin it's back but in my throat this time. I see him the day after Christmas and he will do a scope and take biopsies. He will tell me that day what his game plan is. It sure is strange how you never hear about OC until a Dr tells you you have it. Oh well, part of life i guess. Have a good day all.

Joined: Jun 2007 Posts: 5,260 | I have to see a Dentist this morning at 8:30 . He will check to see what needs done to get the teeth out. Then next thur i see the Dr that will actually take the tetth out. After my gums heal I will have the implants. THe cancer is on both sides of my tongue now. I never did feel that it was gone after part of my tongue was removed. Thanks for the reply Diane will keep you informed
