Carol...I'll share my experiences more after you find out exactly what you are dealing with. You can ask me anything. My lesion, however, was confined to the hard palate (and the maxilla, which yours doesn't seem to involve, thank goodness.) The soft palate will have some similarities and some differences. LEt's just wait until after Tuesday.

My heart goes out to you. I can't imagine hearing those words again, but you did it once, and you know you can do it again.

Minnie, I, too, am so very glad to hear from you, but please don't feel that just because you have been the strong supporter of everyone else that you can't show your needy side here. We've all been there.....and....ask Carol...ANY one of us could be there again.

You and Carol share much, in that you both are facing a second round with this beast. You can do it. Please don't close yourself off from us!!

XO--Colleen
