Thank you, everyone, for all your support.
I got the results back today and, unfortunately, it is early stage tongue cancer.
I will be scheduled to have the nickel size lesion removed, and a PET scan to check for possible metastization. My lymph nodes do not appear swollen, so hopefully not. I will keep checking in with all as energy permits....I am incredibly tired. Could be simply dealing with this new, added challenge.
You are all such a true Godsend! Thank you for being here!
Love to all,
Tinara
