Kerri,

Keep you chin up I know it's easier said than done.

One thing sticks out my surgeon said, my tumor was growing outward and not inward. He has a very soft voice I barely heard him. I don't know if that makes a difference. Coming out of surgery a nurse was standing next to me she said, the inside of your cheeks and mouth were a mess, that I heard loud and clear. My surgeon never mentioned it, what did I know back then about Oral cancer "0". I do have scar tissue in my tongue, do you? It feels like a little lump and has been there since surgery.

I also have scar tissue around my incision do you? I massage the area to try and break it up, not sure if it breaks up or not, that's just me and it feels a lot better after a massage.

I know how you feel thinking about it all the time. There is never a day that goes by I think it's back for some strange reason or another.

You jumped on this right away and I'm sure you have great Dr.'s seeing you're in the medical field, you are in the know.

I hope everything turns out for the good for you and your family.

Take care and keep us posted.

Connie
