Thank you all so much for the feedback. I really feel like I can ask my questions here. This sure is a journey. Ray, what you are explaining sounds like what I went through also. Back in 2006, 2007 my tongue always hurt. I wore mouth guards and used Kanka to numb it etc and finally went for a biopsy in March 07. I went alone for the results. I never thought it would be anything. I remember being dumb founded. The nice ladies at the desk were making copies of business cards with specialists info and as I tried not to break down. As soon as I stepped outside I burst into tears. It's beena roller coaster ever since. I wish I found this site earlier!!
