Hi Connie

I'm feeling better today and more logical. It is just difficult to go to a doctor and they talk down to you and dismiss everything you say. How could this doctor decide in ten minutes by looking at my tongue with a stick if I have cancer or not. Doctors need to weigh what the patient is saying along with what they see.

To me it is like when someone is murdered. All evidence points to the fact that the person was murdered but if they have no body they have no case. Sometimes years later they decided to build a case on circumstantial evidence, they wait a long time because they no the chances are poor of a conviction with only circumstantial evidence no matter how strong. No visible tumor, no cancer.

I have read that it is not that uncommon for people to have cancer and the primary tumor is never discovered.
Also that it takes one billion cancer cells to make a 1cm tumor.

I do have a trust issue when it comes to doctors. It is not lack of respect but it is hard for me trust.
Anyway with all that being said (blowing off more steam), sorry I have made an appt. with an oral surgeon for December 8th..
If he says he doesn't see any reason to suspect cancer then I will let it go.
Thanks again for your time and information. This sight and people like you are a life raft.....
Hugs
