Maria - I had the biopsy taken from my tongue on Feb 12th. I tried really hard to convince myself it was nothing serious -- plus it was so darny busy at work that helped to distract me. I go the diagnosis at 4pm on Feb 19th. The dental clinic at Sunnybrook hospital (Toronto)called to ask if I could come in because the dentist's schedule had changed. That's when I knew. But both dentists I saw that day (BTW both were women) were wonderful and positive. Plus I work for the Ontario Dental Association and I already knew all the stats. They already had an appointment set up for me at the regional cancer centre the following Trusday morning. Funny enough, the next day I was leaving for a 3 day cruise from Miami to Nassau with my sis and another friend. I have to admit, while it wan't the best vacation I've ever had, it sure beat hanging around the house thinking. You see, I'm a Libra, and we think way too much. Plus the food was really good. And even though my tongue hurt at this point I did manage to eat everything I ordered including the drinking the wine. Too bad you can't book a last minute trip to take your mind off this until next week.
