There were times during my brother's battle that I would have pain in my tongue and ear. I thought they were just "sympathy pains" I felt. Well, today I went to see the ear, nose and throat doctor and he wants to perform a biopsy on Wednesday. CRAZY! He said he probably wouldn't do it if I didn't have a family member who experienced oral cancer. I just hope that it is not positive. I don't think that my family can handle the news. It has only been a month since my brother's passing. I will not tell them unless I get unfavorable results. So, I turn to you all for support and to let others know the importance of "checking things out".
