Hello Everyone

I just got my biopsy results. As you know, I'm cancer 101. But having been on this sight I've learned quite a lot. (Thank You)

I'm very upset right now. Not just because of the cancer, I new that was coming. What upsets me is my first biopsy on 6-1-2006. It seems to me that action should have been taken then. Not just being told it's not malignant, and caused from teeth on toungue abbration...
I'm going to give you both biopsy's. Starting with todays, then the one 8 1/2 months ago.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK?
