I'll pray you don't go nuts waiting until the 11th and for negative results. I really want your results to be nothing to worry about as do you.

Hello Everyone, Needless to say, im totally HAPPY!!! laugh I got the biopsy test back and NO CANCER!!! Also just got back from the therasic doctor and all clear there too! Wow, that was a trip.......I cant believe this is what i have to look forward to for the rest of my life, just wondering if or when it will come back. I really have to work on my frame of mind here, or this is going to drive me crazy! Im almost 4 months out of Rad. and im feeling really good, i dont have all my taste back yet, but it is improving everyday. Im being able to eat a little more and more as time goes by. I must say...i dont care for "sweets" that much anymore, but im sure that will change in time too. Well just thought i would let ya'll know about the test and progress, thanks for those who were concerned, I think i need some personal down time from this Cancer stuff and i need to re-group, haha in other words, change the ol' thinking!!!

Way to go, Girl! I'm so pleased for you and your good news. Keeping a positive attitude all the time is tougher than we'd like to believe.

I'm finding that out too; Its my turn to have a suspicious spot in my mouth. I saw the dental oncologist on Tuesday, and see the ENT this coming Tuesday. I'm telling myself its nothing...and praying that I'm accurate. Too many ups and downs....
Have a great weekend!

Linda I am Thrilled everything is ok. I was worried about you because I haven't heard freom you. I don't think anyone conquers the fear of recurrance we just learn to cope better over time. You are well within the time frame for driving yourself crazy.I'm still crazy after all these yrs. If I knew cancer was such hard work on me mentally I never would of gotten it. This is tough to get thru so like Joanne says we really have to ENJOY the little moments in life, and I'm getting better at it. One of those special little moments is your back in the pack and you have a clean bill of health,and that puts a smile on my face. Congrats!

It's good to hear from you again. I'm glad everything is going well for you. If you get sometime can you update on your side effects from your Tx. I still struggle with the dry mouth and the lack/difference of taste, especially sweet stuff. My energy levels is usually good but I do have some days that just wipe me out. But as you say I'm happy to be a survivor.

Hey Tim, Nice to hear from you. Lets see, my taste is a lil off but barely (i dont know if that is really from the rad. or the stopping smoking though) I still can not eat "spicy" foods,and i still have problems with the "sweet" stuff to, just doesnt taste as good, i can not drink cokes anymore ( and i was hooked on diet cokes before all this ) as far as my mouth being dry, yes, that is still an issue, but not near as bad as before, but yea, i still carry water where ever i go! I go in on the 28th for my 6 month check up and i can tell im already panicking a lil, i dont really think about it until i have to go in, i hate the feeling this has left me with, i keep telling myself, whatever will be, will be, but that doesnt help at all, i guess its a mental thing im going to have to get over and hopefully that will come in time! Have you heard from anyone else? I dont see much of the ol one's still posting, i guess we all move on and that means from here too! Kinda sad....i met so many great and supporting people on here! NO, the really sad thing is...there are "NEW" one's to take our place on here, I pray they find a cure for this someday. Ok, enough of venting...haha, thanks for responding and it was great talking to you, keep in touch, i love to hear the progress of someone else too!!! Hope your feeling GREAT and staying HEALTHY. laugh

Well i went to my 6 month, check up and everything is a-o.k. laugh i couldnt have had better news! It sure takes a load off, now i have my 9th month check up to look forward to, haha. I will have to say, i met some really nice people today at M.D. , its funny, when i started off, i was always so scared to talk to anyone in the waiting rooms, now i figure...we all have something in common, maybe just a different kind of cancer, and now that i have been through it, i can talk to anyone up there, now i know the "TRUE" meaning of being scared, and it sure isnt meeting new people! Hey, thats another new blessing from this...and all these "new blessings" i thought i learned, they are really just "old blessings" i just never had my eye's open until now! I still would love to hear from everyone, and i hope you all are doing well!
