Hello everyone - hope you forgive the ramblings - they are out of fear I think
I am sure you will understand when I say my mind is in overdrive and I cant think of the words to express the terror which keeps passing over me.
Briefly mid Dec saw something under tongue within 2 weeks seen my Maxiofacial and biopsy arranged - late Jan and then much earlier than expected letter to attend clinic, it threw me as they had said it would be 6 to 8 weeks. So here I am having been told it is early tongue cancer and due for 2 scans and 1st meeting with my consultant(seen his team before) all this coming week. I don't think the results of scan and MRI will be back for a week or two.
I spoke with my key nurse yesterday and she said something that threw me I honestly feel sick when I think of it. Matter of factly she said when everything is back the team will see what is best curative or pallative. This last word turns me sick, why tell me this, since biopsy I have been told it is the early stage and how lucky I was to notice it and see Dentist.
I am in my sixties and just me hubby and our little dog. My heart aches for them. I am in turmoil. I hope as the days and months go by I will get to know you all - right now I really need your guidance and strength.
What are the most important questions to ask the consultant this week. My first thought was my hair....then I told myself what a stupid thought that was!
Thank you all
