HI ALL ( Dr V ,Shelly)I am not sure if I am posting this to the right posting but hope you get it.
Well I went for my monthly check up yesterday first of all the Dr said my teeth were in a dab state but they are reluctant to touch them until they have to.Well the worst fear came up he found ANOTHER lump in my mouth and they did a biopys there and then ans have to wait until Tuesday for the result. To say I am devastated would be underestimating, I was just shocked and I have said all along no more horendous operation for me.
Will have to wait and see.


Paul

Hello Paul

Sorry to hear they found another lump Frowner in your mouth. Waiting for results is always stressful, but please get on with the things you have to do or find joy in doing. Worrying about the results won't alter it either way. It just saps energy that is best spent more fruitfully like..... telling us about your hols! Wink

On a more serious note, you will need to discuss your treatment options with your cancer team and make an informed decision.
After 30 operations, I am not suprised you would wish to avoid another! :banghead:

About your teeth, keep scrubbing them with a fluoride gel and use a fluoride mouthwash. They may not look great but if you can eat with them and they aren't causing you pain, they are still pretty useful. Big Grin So it is worth the effort.

Best wishes and chin up, Cool

I said a prayer for you today
And I know God must have heard
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word.
I didn't ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn't mind)
I asked him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind!
I asked that He'd be near you
At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way.
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small,
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all.

Please keep us posted as to the outcome, my thoughts are with you.
