Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,357 Likes: 5 | My first worry was a sore spot on my tongue - Feb of 2002 - firm diagnosis Feb 19, 2003, surgery April 2003. With My recurrance my first thought that it was back was in March of 2004, firm diagnosis Sept 24, 2004, surgery Oct 2004. Sometimes it is misdiagnosed and even when it is suspected, sometimes it can be difficult to diagnose.
It sounds to me like things are moving along at a very good pace for you. It is so hard to be patient. I remember wanting this cancer OUT - not NOW - but RIGHT NOW!!!
Keep us posted and good luck with everything.
