Hello to all,
I have been reading here for some weeks now. I was sure that the lesion on my tongue could very possibly be OC.
This past Wednesday (10-5-16) I was seen by an ENT who took a biopsy. He also told me he was 100% sure that the mass was malignant and will require, at least, surgery.
I'm hoping to get the pathology results by phone sometime today and I'm not ashamed to say "I'm very frightened".
I question whether I'm strong enough to go through treatment because the last 2 years have been an orthopedic nightmare for me. I have osteoporosis and suffered 5 severe fractures...each one before I was recovered from the previous. 4 of the Fx's required surgery to implant hardware. I've gone from bed ridden to wheelchair to walker to 2 canes.....several times. I'm in chronic pain and not yet able to drive. Can't imagine adding to my pain.
I try not to do the "What If's" but in some cases it can be helpful...I think. Right now I'm in gear to prepare.
ie: eat,eat,eat. I'm a thin person.
new pillows,stock up on nuti shakes,look for an iPod ect. I'm hoping that I'll be more at ease knowing that my world is as comfy as it can be. We'll see
I'm sooooo glad to have found this site!
Be Well...Be Happy
