Looks like I have another recurrance. I went for a chest xray because of a cough I have and they found 2 masses in my right lung. I had a CT scan since then and now I have to go for a biopsy. I know it's not cancer till it is confirmed, but this does not look good. It has only been 7 months since the last reccurance on my tongue.
I have taken myself off the Trental. I am scared and would like to ask for you to keep me in your prayers.
Love Sharon

I am so sorry to hear your news. I have been coughing really bad the past few days, too, and I am so scared to go to the doctor. I have an appointment already scheduled next week and hopefully the cough will be better. I will pray for you God bless you.

You are most definitely in my prayers, and hopefully, it will not be cancer. Sometimes it seems like there just isn't a break.
Take care, and get around a great support system...it's what has gotton Dan and I through so far!
