I see you're still active on here! I'll have to take more time to read all your going-ons. I did see you had your surgery and seem to be recovering.
Well I don't know if you remember but I had a mass in a breast, turns out I have breast cancer now. So all this time I was worried about an oral cancer recurrence, and instead I get a secondary cancer! This one isn't a huge surprise though, it's the same type of breast cancer my mom got when she was 50.
I will be seeing a breast surgeon soon to get the breast cancer journey started. They will be calling me back with an appointment.
Our journeys continue...unfortunately!!
