Hello Sweet Melinda,

Gave yourself a pat on the back for quitting the smokes. It is a powerful addication and you may be a bit testy for awhile. Once you are off you won't smell like an ashtray, no burns in your clothes, no money spent on them, So many positives, hang in there, You can do it.

How far out is your ENT appointment? If it's way out try and move it up. No one wants to wait a month to find out what you have. There will be alot of members here who will be pulling for you. It could be many other things besides cancer. Right now you don't have cancer, When the pathlogy report says you do than it's time to put your treatment plan in order. Many members of this forum have survived SSC and if it is I see no reason you can't be one of them.

Please post after your appointment and let us know.

Best of luck with the ENT!!!!
