Ow,ow,ow,ow,ow...

Ok, biopsies suck. Hard.

I went to see Dr. Williams today. He said that since he has never, ever seen cancer come back this soon after treatment, he is pretty sure that what is going on with my tongue is not cancer. He didn't guarantee anything, of course, but he did say that in all likelihood it is either a suture trying to come out, scar tissue or inflamed scar tissue.

However, just to err on the side of caution, he did do a biopsy of the spot. OW!!!! Everything about the biopsy just hurt. The shots to numb the tongue, pulling the tongue out and trying to position it and then, of course, getting the specimen pieces out so they can be tested. Ow, ow, ow.

He said that they should have the results back by Tuesday. I'll call him Tuesday afternoon to get the results.

Here's to hopin'...
