Hello all,
A bit confused but hopefully in the right place???? I have had an MRI, Ultrasound and am due a tongue biopsy under GA on the 14th Feb ( Happy Valentines to me). Already I have been so inspired by people's journeys and the sharing of knowledge. I am petrified and yet feel totally supported already from this site.
I am a totally positive person for the most part but would be lying if I said I did not have many moments of complete and utter fear.
We have just sold our house and have bought a house in Ireland ( long term dream) and this timing is a complete bummer!!! I like to keep imagining that the biopsy will show that everything is ok but...Why should I get away with a clean bill of health? Who do I think am? But it helps me to be positive.
I will have so many questions once the biopsy results are in. I do promise that I will update either way. So far , MRI shows nothing in Lymphs. Ultrasound shows saliva glands are clear . THe camera up and down my nose/throat shows a lesion on the base of my tongue. Something was mentioned about lingual tonsils but my husband , Nick, who was there to take notes got distracted ( by not paying any attention) so I am not clear on what they said.
I am 56 ( birthday today). Have had a rough ride in the last few years ( family bereavement) but generally in good health.
You all amazing and I feel like I may well be in good company.
I am not sure on what the percentage of biopsies turn out to be ok. I really hope no one can burst my bubble but I do respect your input and experience
Most that are suspect are found to be. The converse is true. Surgeons get an eye for this by the time they are consultants. Xx

Thank you so much.
You don’t know how hopeful I am for you. It would be absolutely wonderful if we didn’t see you here again. And I mean that in a good way, from the bottom of my heart.

I fully appreciate how lucky i might be and don't want to share news that may feel unfair to others that are not so lucky...
Absolute not! Don’t feel bad. There can’t be a single forum member here who wouldn’t share your joy.
