We went to the James Cancer center today. Talked with Dr Ozer for a while then he called for 2 Patholigist to come. They numbed my tongue, LOL Oh Yea they did, and took some biopsies from my tongue. My tongue was infected again and Dr Ozer drained it. That was more fun than when the hogs ate my lil brother. There is such pain that I can hardly move my tongue and can't eat and swallowing is very difficult. Dr Ozer called us about an houor after we left the hospital and told me the quick diagnosis didn't show much and that it would be 2 days before they can reach a conclusion. He wants me to back to Columbus next week if my pain is still there and he will take me to the operating room and do better job of getting biopsies. It is scheduled but if the pain goes away I don't have to go.Hell I hope i can eat by then. Barb said the infection he drained was very nasty looking. I hope I didn't leave hand prints in that chair.. LOL have a good day all.

I forgot to add, that if there is a reoccurence going on, he doesn't want to do surgery. He thinks I would do better with chemo and radiation and will set it up closer to my home. I told him I will do whatever he thinks is best.

Ouch Jim!!
I have more biopsies 'coming soon'---didn't like the first one too much! As I'm still 'active', can't even worry about recurrence!
Going to bed in a minute, gonna take the pain meds, hopefully sleep well--will laugh about your handprints and the teeth marks I must've left in the bed rails when I gave birth to twins and had nobly refused pain meds!!!!!
