With your attitude you will beat this hands down.For those of us that tjhink positive, we win with , but have to go thru with a lot of things that bother us a little, but we make it and go on living. You are like I was at 1st, kept getting put off with the pains I was having in my mouth , throat and on my tongue. Finally got a surgeon to make a check on his way down to scope my esophagus and he found the OC and had me lined up to see a Dr before I even woke up. LOL things happened fast after that. Good luck and all the best to you.
