Minnie,

I hope you can feel all the prayer, well-wishes and love being sent your way (and to your entire family as well) because there are so many people on this board who care about you and are hoping you have that best possible outcome. And we will be right here for you whichever way it turns out, of course.

Just for what it's worth, the fact that the area looks better sounds like a good sign to me too. My tongue cancer never got "better" at all back when I could see it and didn't know it was cancer--just gradually worse and worse.

I know it's going to be a long wait until Tuesday for you--I hope you can spend some of the time doing something enjoyable and manage to get your mind off it even!

Nelie
