I received this email from Penny this morning and am posting it. I do not know why she can't log in but will try to email her again. If anyone else can please email her and can we try to help her get through this first bad nes? Thanks to all who can.


Doc called and said IS cancer wantes me in office right away. he is out of office tomorrow and said Monday was not soon enough, so he will see me at 12:30 today.

Over the last week, I taste blood from my sinus and breath constantly it smells like spoiled meat and the mucus secretions I cough up are terrible tasting, having hard time swallowing. The Doctor has not given me the opportunity to tell him of the neck and chest symptoms, he interrupts and distracts me and I get so nervous I am easily distracted. The growth under my tongue has completely grown back and is larger than before the biopsy, sore throat and tongue and i am having problems with respiration, I have thaat bright cherry thing going on, super pink skin tongue and tissueslike carbon monoxide poisoning. My 11 yr old has no one, there is no other adult memebrr in my family that can help out emotionally, physically, or financially. What do people who have no one else other than their children do to treat and cope with these kinds of cancers? Having no insurance and no financial resourses to cover treatment. well I am not sure what is going to happen and I am so scared.

I tried logging in to the forum, and when i enter my ID and Password it takes me to the forum page but says I am not logged in.

Will write later after see the DR.
Thank You
Penny
