Christine,

I have not seen my surgeon yet, he has been out of town. i see him today at 2 pm, so i will get to ask questions. Monday i will see another doc for a second opinion. i assume at some point soon they will be doing scans.

According to my surgeons secretary he wants me to see other doctors at johns hopkins as well.

The doctor who did the biopsy doesn't operate anymore, but knows a lot about it. he is my oral medicine doctor.

I honestly just want to get started and get the cancer out. I am worried about how long it has been there. was it there in january when i had my last surgery?

i will write after i see my surgeon.
