Maybe that not that bad. "local cancer" on the floor of my mouth. I gather a mostly beneign tumor has some cancerous cells inside it (in one location not scattered throughout). So a cancer buried within a beneign buffer which means when they remove it there is a good chance they will get it all and not have to do chemo. Of course the scan they took was before it had been tested and thus was preliminary and not very good. Will get a full scan and biopsy a week from today (Tuesday) to determine if this preliminary analysis is right, and then take it from there.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Hang tough, Typo.
Fingers crossed it's easily treated and GOES AWAY AND NEVER COMES BACK!! /gollum
Hope so.
I hope it turns out to be as minor as possible.
I hope the scan confirms the limitedness and localness Gar, and that treatment is as easy and successful as possible.
Best possible outcome ~ma
Aw... Colbert just said "hookers & blow"
Colbert lurks!
Askye, every time you mention St. albans, I am amused to know that real people live there. There is a huge immigration service center there that I deal with all the time. Just like seeing your teacher outside school, it's funny to think that it's a real place.
ION, one of my best friends is a single mom in Iraq. Her son, 17, has been tested for autism, but didn't "pass". His 20 yo sister is his guardian while mom is gone. Today, I got a call that he was at his orthodontist (no appointment, just showed up) saying he didn't feel safe at home; feared for his life. The police officer who handled the call was great but he told ms point blank he was worried about the boy's mental state and I was too, frankly. Both the police officer, and my therapist, who I spoke to later, independently expressed concern about schizophrenia.
I just got off the phone with the mom. I know telling her all this was the only responsible thing to do, and was the right thing, but I feel like I just dropped a load of crap in her lap. Inwas worried enough that I asked about taking guns out of the house and other safety issues be aide I'm worried about this boy hurting himself or his sister.
