Hi Christine,

Thanks for the reply. She had an irritation in her lower gums,that looked like an infection. They tried antibiotics, then an oral surgeon did a biopsy. He called last night with the news.We are near Boston,Ma hospitals and she has a fantastic doctor so I'm confident she'll get the best care. She has a positive attitude.

Wife is 57 years old. Diagnosed May 30,2009 after oral surgeon did a biopsy. Wife had surgery on June 23,2009. Surgeon took piece from arm after removing squamus mass from lower gum
