I had my spiral CT of my chest done today and will get the results tomorrow. If the small spot is indeed radiation scarring, then I'll have my surgery on Sept. 25th at John Hopkins. If the spot is cancer, then they will treat that first and see what happens. So anxious tonight, as you can see by the 3:08am posting!
Keeping you all in my thoughts,
Minnie
SCC Left Mandible. Jaw replaced with bone from leg. Neck disection, 37 radiation treatments. Recurrence 8-28-07, stage 2, tongue. One third of tongue removed 10-4-07. 5-23-08 chemo started for tumor behind swallowing passage, Our good friend and much loved OCF member Minnie has been lost to the disease (RIP 10-29-08). We will all miss her greatly.

Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,671 | Hi Minnie - My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you, too. Hang in there a little bit. I've found that whenever I am anxious about something, it does help to come here. i'll be thinking about you and visualizing some positive results for you.
