Love, CLynn XXXXXXOOOOOOO > > The surgeon removed the staples today - is leaving the stitches for the next appointment in two weeks. > > The pathology report says ALL margins were clear.

The tumor is classified as a T1 (scale = T1- T4) . . . as good as this cancer gets. > > However, he's recommending radiation as a precaution. He said that, should the cancer reoccur, it could be devastating. But, if I have radiation, it will destroy the salivary glands on both sides. I'll have a dry mouth 24/7 forever! . . There are other side effects I could live with . . but I'm not sure about the dry mouth! > > The good news is that I have time to check all this out . . . He suggested that I talk to another of his patients who did radiation and is doing well now. > > Hugs, > > Rogene > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
