Lisa,
So sorry you had to hear the "c" word! I have found that it changes your life. I also was told this year that I had cancer in my tongue at 39 years young & have been on a roller coaster ride (as many of these brave people on the Forum are) ever since. Right now I am trying to get on with a major cancer center as I am not happy with the way I hadn't received follow ups, had to get new referrals for my specialists & its the agony of waiting topped with the anxiety of even getting tests done that is driving me crazy.
Do listen to Minnie & Daniels advice, you don't need added stress when battling cancer, you need an informed team of specialists who will give you the best care.
Best of luck to you.
Take care
Maria
