Hi-
I wrote on Friday stressed about my biopsy. Well, it was confirmed that it is cancer again on the left front of tongue. First time was on right. Anyway I should get my MRI and pet done this week and then I'll go to ucsf or Stanford next week for the discussion of next steps.
My ENT is hopeful based on what he's seen. I just can't believe it. Ugh. I am stressed and feeling a little lost.
Ugh
