Guest guest Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 - Hi Saul & Laurie, It is my understand that it is NOT cancer, but a precancerous growth. A potential precursor of squamous cell carcinoma. Potential is the key word here.

Guest guest Posted November 12, 2003 Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 Everything is pre-cancer the way they speak. Isn't that much like saying that breathing or brain activity is " pre-death " . :-) Just picking on you. I think we have to move away from the medical model and its insane use of terminology :-) Best wishes and much love, Ken Ken Gullan Institute for Research Integration (IRI) San Diego, CA 92106-2424 IRI is a 501C(3) non-profit corporation established to help children with developmental difficulties.

So much of life it reflected in our thinking patterns; is the glass half full or half empty, do we have lemons or do we have something to make lemonade out of, etc. In reality we have a little of both 1/2 empty and 1/2 full, and we also have the opportunity to do what we will with it. I don't know about other people (maybe they're not as rebellious as I was), but it took me a lot of lemons before I realized I could make some very good lemonade. And the beauty of it all was some of the greatest lessons in life I learned from the harderst times. Guess it really does take lemons to make the lemonade.
