in Head and Neck Cancer #1

With this hole in my gum getting bigger and my wisdom tooth falling out on it's own. . .I've been wondering if I had it in me to do this again.  Well, I don't have to guess anymore.  I had am MRI and some biopsies last week.  Yesterday there were no answers.  Today the last biopsy came back, more scc.  PET Scan next week and then I meet with another onc.  Don't know what to expect.  We all know that the wait is awful.  This isn't going to help with my fatigue and lack of appetite.

    You can do it!

    Bev,

    I am sorry about the biopsy results.  I have to hope with the close watch they keep on you, it has been caught early and will be easier to treat.

    Be strong

    Oh Bev....

    What a kick in the gut....you've fought so long...so hard.  I was hoping you'd get a break from this.  Waiting is hell, for sure...I'm keeping you tucked in my pocket.  You're a hell of a fighter, Bev....you may just find by the time you get to talk to the Dr., you're in the fighting mode again.

    One day at a time, that's all any of us can do.  You are certainly a hero to the rest of us.

    I know you can do it. I am always scared for my mom as she had her cancer returned 3 times but she is still here and she is ok. It's been 2 years and 7 months since her last treatment. Just hang in there and make sure you beat this awful creature in the butt. I am praying for you.

    Yes you can do this, you are going to a fantastic place and you will have all the support you well ever need. The waiting is so hard. Step back and take a deep breath, then take it one day at a time. Let me know if I can help.

    damn!

    I'm so sorry to hear about the results. Adding this sure makes the burden more heavy but you have experience under your belt to help you forward. One day at a time, one step at a time. Best!
