Just want to share some info about myself. I had oral cancer at the age of 24, went to the denist for a toothache and got in for an emergency visit on Sat. by Mon. I was in the hospital having all my teeth removed, tumors removed and gums scraped. I went without teeth for six months so as not to aggrevate the situation (extrememly hard at 24). Went through regular check ups until I was about forty and started having problems with my salivary gland. I can't say it was painful, so much as really uncomfortable. It would swell up at times to the point it was difficult to breath. I had an ultra sound, mri, xrays, you name it. Finally the mri showed there was a growth and whether it was cancerous or not, it should come off. Surgery was schedueled and I had a pretty positive attitude at that point. The day I thought I was going in for my pre-op. I found I had a new surgeon, mine had left. The new dr. said oh, just suck on lemon drops ( I guess this is one of the remedies for stones) and dismissed me. I was devestated thinking he wasn't caring for me, I even paid for a consultation at Loma Linda hospital, the dr also believed I should have the surgery. Well, to make a long story as short as possible , I went into the denial mode and did nothing......that was 15 years ago and nothing was ever done. So hang in there, I know your dad's case is probably totally different, but just wanted to share this with you since it had the similarities.

I know this is probably pschosymatic ??? but for the first time in a long time I can feel it again...lol.

I will be thinking of you and your Dad and hoping it's quickly resolved with successful surgery.

I understand how it can make the ground rock beneath your feet.

As far as I know, I am not trying to make light of Bella's dad's situation. Only hoping to show that it may not be as bad as it seems, keep the faith.

How shattering this has to be for you and your Dad. But the thing that comes through so clearly is the love you and your Dad share. So precious. To him at a time like this your presence must be like healing oil.
Wishing the very best for your Dad, your Mom and you dear one.

Thank you for your kind words, I only hope your father's outcome is as good. I just wanted to share to let you know it's not always as bad as it seems and I pray that is the situation now. They don't call it the PRACTICE of medicine for nothing.

Post by: write on February 05, 2008, 03:36:44 PM: i won't know any more news for about a week. I am hoping that it will be a benign tumor, but Alone has taught me that even more serious ones can be treated successfully. I am a bit teary here and there, but I am `coping'.

that's good. waiting is impossibly difficult isn't it. Glad you brought it here and got good advice!

Keeping your dad in my prayers

Thanks so much Hops, Write, Ami, and everyone:)

I don't have any news, but in a week they'll start the tests. I suppose I'll have wait for the results to come back after that. Sigh, it seems like along wait.

Love and hugs,
X bella

Dear Bella,

It just occured to me that the week is up, and you did say on another thread that the tests were to be on Monday, with all the activity I failed to ask how the tests went yesterday.

How is your dear Dad ?

Hope he was okay ungoing the tests, and that the results will be presented as soon as is possible. Did they give any indication of when?

Love,

Leah
