Hello my name is Cindy. I am the wife of Graywolf who joined this forum the other day. We were told 3 wks ago that he has mouth cancer. He will be going to get a MRI in the morning and A biospy on the 26th. He was told that it is in the bottom of his mouth and in two lymph nodes and possibly in his jaw. We have so many questions about what he will be going though . I can not figure out why they are doing the MRI before they do the biospy. How does the Dr know it is cancer just by looking at it? I really think I am in denial that my husband has cancer. My sister is a breast cancer survior and I thank the Lord for that everyday. I have tried to hand over all my worries about my husband to the lord but I need to talk out my fears and questions here with people like everyone here that has gone though what my husband and I are going to go though. One of the lymph nodes have gotten bigger and he is saying he feels like he has the flu. I want him to see the Dr about this and talk to her. I have always heard that once you find out you have cancer it seems to progress even faster. Is this true? To me the Dr's are not moveing fast enough, but I also know deep down that they are doing what all needs to be done before they acually take the cancer out. I"m just scared. Thank you for listening to me. Cindy E
