Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 372 | Dan had his Oncology checkup and checkup with his PVL (tongue precancer leukoplakia)doctor today. He is almost 3 months post treatments. No testing done at this time, but palpitations found nothing of concern, and no new leukoplakia was seen.
PRAISE GOD - so far, so good. Wanted to share a little good news for now.
Thanks,
Debbie
