TO everyone, thank you so much, you have all given me hope... I was definitely panicking but your words have helped so much! To clarify, the doctor who had never seen it before is NOT the one treating. He referred us to someone else, who is a specialist in this.And yes, after all the various tests he is doing this week, next will be biopsy, next week most likely. Which will tell them definitely. Sorry I wasn't very clear before.


Cheryl, CCC is a cancer care center? and OC...by that you mean oral cancer?

Maria and Kathy, it is so great to see other caregivers here. I know I will have many questions for you.

DavidcPA, i noted the mention of Moffitt in Tampa: the specialist treating my husband did his fellowship there.

you are all terrific. thank you so much for the support and kind words and good thoughts!!
