Thank you so much for kind responses! I am waiting for my appointment with the ENT on monday, Feb. 1st. Seems one the one hand like it is coming soon, I am not looking forward to it, and on the other hand like it's an interminable wait...
I have been reading a lot in several areas of this site, there is so much good information. My nursing background is LVN In psych, not oncology, so I am getting a lot of education here as well as so much respect for the courage and daily struggles of so many here who deal with these dx and yet extend so much grace to one another in the fight.
55year old female
new (questionable?) dx left cheek 1/19/15, non drinker, non smoker
not staged yet, nervous, anxios. have a sore, rough spot,size of a quarter, white surface with
red patches, thickened,slowly growing on L cheek for the last 5 months, finally went in to dr to have checked was referred to ENT for biopsy. PCP seems certain it is CA, is stating "malignant neoplasm" on dx.
