  • Sublingual Salivary Gland Cancer- my journey
    11 years later…..another update

    Was just reminded of this blog today when logging back into the site after quite some time and though I should post another update on the off chance that someone else embarking on this journey has found any part of my ramblings helpful.

    The genius man at the hospital ( Aaron) did indeed make me a plate with some teeth in it which I’ve been wearing for over a year now. It did take quite a few visits to get it finished, which was held up...

    Something pink, frivolous and cheap.
    I'm feeling calmer today.  I've given myself a good telling off about feeling sorry for myself.  Decided some girlie shopping to cheer myself up would be a good distraction and I knew immediately who the perfect companion would be.&...
