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 don’t know what to say . I got the best news I could have wished for
Oh Lorraine....I am so happy for you. You've had a real scare. I wish you the very very best in your new life......It's newer than you might ever have imagined. Hugs
