Hi Cheryl,

I don't have my surgery date yet. Hopefully soon. I am guessing it will be mid Feb or late feb. It sucks, because I can almost feel the cancer manifesting, can't wait to just get it out.

The lichen planus that I had on my tongue was supposed to be taken care of when I had the radial forearm flap procedure, but there may be areas forming right where my flap attaches to my tongue. I have not talked about treatment for that yet with my EMT, as I have tried inhibitor drugs, photodynamic therapy already with no success. I will look into what you were talking about.

I read up on the imaging guide CT for real time viewing that you mentioned. That sounds like the way to go. You should insist they use that for you to be as minimally invasive as possible.
