Subject: RE: BS: Biopsy of a spot on my tongue, HELP! From: Bluesmike Date: 03 Nov 02 - 09:46 PM Just thinking of you and identifying. Five years ago I was told "you are dying and there is nothing I can do for you. Weeeeell I lost a lung and started to LIVE- still being a pain in the arse. Don't cross your bridges until you come to them mate. Best wishes from the land of OZ Michael Chandler Live every minute as though it is your last |

I admire you greatly for having the courage to get this thing checked out. Too many have waited too long, you know. Thanks also for sharing your thoughts with us. I know we all are in anticipation of learning of future developments; but none so much as you, I am sure. Good thoughts are on the way. |
Subject: RE: BS: Biopsy of a spot on my tongue, HELP! From: mmb Date: 03 Nov 02 - 11:01 PM How fortunate we are NOT to be living "in decades past" when cultural constraints would have prevented the sharing of fears - and triumphs - that we see in this thread! In my short time on board the Mudcat Community I have seen the sharing of musical knowledge, memories, calendar items and jokes; I have seen the effort to help the Patons after the theft from their cash box; and I have even strained my eyes through a passionate 24+ hour disputation of grammar and sytax. And now in this thread I have seen a level of trust that permits a member to share real fear, and be surrounded with the empathy of others who've known the same fear and awaited the same test results, as well as the encouragement of those of us who hope we are never in the same situation. Maybe not the cultured society of the past, but a culture we are fortunate to share today. M. |
Subject: RE: BS: Biopsy of a spot on my tongue, HELP! From: Genie Date: 04 Nov 02 - 12:49 AM Fortunato, 13 years ago I had a mole removed from my calf and biopsied. It turned out to be a #2 malignant melanoma, which could have metastisized to the bones if left to its own devices. But it appears they got the li'l bugger in time, since I've had no recurrences since. I tell you this to underscore the fact that, even if you do have "the big C," it's not necessarily a death sentence. Often they can remove a small cancer in its entirety before it spreads. I really hope that your biopsy turns out negative. Even if it does not, we'll all be praying for it to be treated in time. Easier said than done, of course, but please don't be unnecessarily alarmed. Let us all hope for, and visualize, the best outcome for you. Genie |

Again a million thanks to you all. If there is a world gathering of Mudcatters ( I don't know where that stands), I will be there to thank you all in person, alive and well I believe. sincerely, Chance. |

From: rock chick Date: 04 Nov 02 - 10:48 AM Been there, not on the tongue though, it is worrying but remember we are all with you and most of these things turn out ok, your doc was great to get it checked out, there are many so called 'doctors' out there who would have thought little about it, calm thoughts inner body control, and positive thinking, meditate if you feel your heads thinking too much, meditation is a great healer in itself or just log on and chat Will be thinking of you Keep us posted |
