Pathology results came in today...all is clear! I do not need radiation or chemo. I am so relieved I cannot express how I feel. I will have to be checked every month for the next year.
So, why do I still feel weird and worried? I asked if it could come back (stupid question, I know). He said yes, this is an aggressive type of cancer. So, now I am thinking that what if it comes back and they have to keep taking pieces off my tongue.
I HOPE I AM NOT BEING A TOTAL PAIN IN THE BUTT. I am so grateful and relieved. I feel like I am an ingrate for not feeling totally relieved. Anyone else have these muddy feelings?? Trust me, I know how lucky I am. I guess I am grateful but still kind of scared. Best to all. Denise
