Vicki when we chatted a few weeks ago or was it months ago in one thread you (and a few others)told us of some hair on your tongue from the reconstructive surgery. Have you had this removed yet? If you have I may have missed this. I keep thinking about how awful this must be for you on top of all the other problems.

Kind wishes Pauline

Hello, No I couldn't have it done for I can't open my mouth wide enough for them to do it in the office. I do not want to be put out for it as I am a high risk for that. I have had too many surgeries but put under too many times...I still pluck them, LOL. Doc now they come up with this new method, wouldn't you know it...This is GREAT news for the new people tho.....YEAH!!!!!!!!There will be a day when they won't do this horrible surgery. They will have advanced to methods that will just floor all of us who have had to have it...I pray for that day...It can't and won't help us,,,but I would love it if not another person had to go thru this...It is HELL right here on EARTH. We fight because we are so young and we want to live our LIVES. They will still have to fight, but not like we have......Thank GOD for the researchers that will one day nip this awful thing called-------CANCER------Vicki Lynn
