Hi Hazel

So glad you agree that Kitty should be here :-) Her experience of a very painfull biopsy is going to help others that are experiencing the same. My first two biopsies were fine so Im no help to anyone coming here for advice unless they`ve had a palate biopsy as my 3rd one was.

Ive been waiting for hospital letter for pre op check. They phoned today to confirm admission next week so the clock is ticking:cry:

Are you all packed and ready? Bikini, shorts, T Shirts!

Hi Clara 

more like Lycra and factor 50 is packed!! We try to cycle most days but under no illusion that I will be doing 50/75 km will settle for a steady 30 km   Factor 50 as radiotherapy caused my neck to have 3 rd degree burn so likeca baby skin.  Just pondering Wether a burka might be in orders!!! Only joking  just going to use false tan and sit in the shade will cover up as  much as I csn. Wil post photos on blog. 

Must  agree ee kitty can give useful feedback. Anyway good luck for next week k baby steps take it one day at a time  keep in touch

Clara, was speed reading and just saw Packed - Bikini, shorts and T shirts and for a moment thought this was your packing list for your surgery - blimey, I thought,  you must be having it done privately!!

Have an amazing time, Raz, and bring back the yellow jersey ( sorry, hubby is well into the Tour De France! )

It's a pity that you can't post personal pictures on here as the thought of Raz in a burka....

The Orabase paste seems to be doing the trick, far better a layer  of that  than those  pesky silicone mouth guards. A bit tricky during the day as its difficult to talk with my tongue welded to the side of my mouth, but at least my work colleagues seem grateful for the ( temporary) respite!

Hi Kitty.   Private!!!! I wish. I would have been in and out by now :-)) Me in a bikini I think the fashion police would be after me.

I wish I had known about the orabase paste, would it stick to palate do you think?

A story in papers yesterday about a woman from London having tongue cancer and story went on to describe her glossectomy etc with photos. There is a news feed on FB and people can leave comments, some comments were quite sick and obscene my daughter wouldnt let me see them. Not that I am delicate, she felt it was so awful they should have closed the comments down. Shocking to say the least!

Hi Hazel

You go for it girl ! I have been keeping weight up just in case. Well thats my excuse for ice cream, cakes and everything else. Not eating well last few weeks has made me obsessed with food.

I have relatives 70+ and yes they have foot in mouth, think they can say whatever comes into their minds. Brother-in-law said to me today "your only getting a bit off your tongue" I ended the phone call quick. I am still boiling mad hours later.

I had a mammogram done last week,wish I had`nt now. I got a re-call letter to go for more tests at breast clinic next week. I don`t think I will I`ve got enough on next week.

Any room in your car boot for a runaway.PS ive got a passport;)   xx

DHi Clara 

omg it never rain s but it pours ! I had my mammogram the day after I got my diagnosis I ended up consoling the nurse as when it got to then has any medical,changes happened since last one I started telling her and obviously she knew what was coming for me and broke into tears ! 

Sure you will be fine it’s not  unusual nowday for the scans to show things that aren’t really there think you should go if yiubcan otherwise it will be in your mind  ring uo and explain see if they can tell you any more over phone

Hi Clara,

I am so sorry to hear that you have been recalled to the breast clinic next week. If you are too busy next week, please phone and explain your situation and re-schedule.

I am sure that, with all you've been through, you realise the importance of dealing with any cancer as soon as possible.

As Hazel says, it could well be something and nothing, as tests are so sensitive now. Here's hoping that it will be good news, but better safe than sorry.

Kind regards,

Jolamine xx
