I just hit my one year anniversary of completing treatment this month. Things have been going well and I feel like I've made big strides physically in the past few months. I have a pesky sore on my tongue that will not heal but my surgeon has taken a good look at it several times and says it doesn't look concerning. But now I've found a white, rough patch on my gums underneath my back molar and I find myself scared and anxious all over again.
I'm actually so nervous that I've made two appointments. One with my dental oncologist on Tuesday and one with my surgeon on Thursday. Last time I had a gum issue a tiny piece of my jaw bone had died and needed to be removed. Hopefully it's just that again but it doesn't look the same and that was painful while this is painless. I'm more nervous this time for some reason. It looks like I'm in good company this month. I'm thinking good thoughts for everyone awaiting news right now and hope we all get clean reports!
