I had pain for 6 days on my left side of my mouth. I was unable to hardly eat at all and really scared. I called my cancer Dr. and even though he was on leave for having his 3rd child he told me to come on in. I thought it was a reoccurence, I hoped it was just a rotten tooth. Turns out it was a minor mouth infection that he gave me a prescription for. Trying so hard for my head not to rule my body..but sometimes it does. Thankful today.


I am a 65 year old reitired woman. I have been married to a great man for 42 years. I had a right breast masectomy 15 years ago.





squamous cell carcinoma under my tongue was diagnosed earlier this month. I had surgery 2/3/15. 22 lymph nodes out of my neck came back negative for metasis. The Drs. say I do not need chemo or radiation. I'm off the feeding tube and now on a liquid/soft food diet. I see the surgeon again next week. I am grateful and optimistic.
