Hi Marlene,

Thanks for the post.Your situation sounds similar to my wife's. Once we get into the true diagnosis, I'll let you know about her situation and treatment. Stories like yours, although involving surgery, provide a positive angle to our situation.

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
