    You'll be alright.

    It's one of the most easily treatable cancers when caught early, like this has been. And well done for seeing people as soon as you noticed changes; many people don't, which is when you get the poorer outcomes.

    A friend had a second biopsy on his tongue today, and that is what his consultant told him.

    First of all, with your permission, I would like to pray for you and your loved ones.

    I think it probably was therapeutic for you to let it out again and do this has often as you need to, to help you through this. Personally even though I do not know you, you have all it takes to be all right fighting this monster. You have youth, good health and a positive attitude!

    I wish you the best of luck. You are more then welcomed to add me to your friends list. I have a strong shoulder.

    Things are going to be surreal for a while. You will float through these upcoming weeks, but you will never forget a moment. Get a notebook and take it to every appt to take notes. You will remember your dr's garlic breath, but you won't remember a thing s/he said.

    Ditto.
    My thoughts are with you and it sounds like you have a good doctor with a good plan! I still remember when I was first diagnosed with cancer and the feeling of uncertainty and that things were out of my control were very hard but it does get better! And I know it helped me to share in some online communities, sometimes it was easier to talk about my feelings there then to family and friends.

    I know how you feel, sort of. I just had a ridiculously huge lump in my breast, like the size of a golf ball. It scared the crap outta me because it popped up basically overnight, and although for two months doctors were telling me it was probably just a cyst or an abcess, the unknown was driving me a bit nuts. Thank God it was confirmed yesterday that it was simply a cyst that could be taken care of with antibiotics. The odd thing is that I smoked like a chimney and drank like a fish for 12 years, so I was pretty sure it was cancer and had just accepted the fact that I had done this to myself or at least contributed to it. It doesn't seem fair seeing as how you didn't smoke or seem to abuse your body much at all.

    What bothered me the most was not the possible end of my own mortality. I was more stressed out about what it would do to my parents to lose their only child. I kept telling myself that it's better to know when you're going to die so that you can do everything you wanted to do, say your goodbyes, etc. as opposed to being hit by a bus suddenly or dying in a plane crash. This rationale helped prepare me for being ok with the results if the worst happened.

    All of that being said, there have been major advancements in cancer treatments, and it is great that you have been keeping up with your doctors and caught it early. I know it's scary. I have lost several relatives to cancer, but the most important thing is to keep as positive of an attitude as you can. It can work wonders. And don't be afraid to ask about educational seminars on treatments, side effects, etc. of this process. It will make you feel better to be informed. I will keep you in my prayers.

    One thing is certain: I'm ready to put up the fight of my life and come out on the other side as a stronger person.

    Wow. Heavy news, and lots to digest for you, I'm sure. I can't even imagine the range of emotions you're going through. I don't even know you, but can tell that you're going to persevere. This is the right attitude. One day at a time. You will beat this.

    I can't even imagine the shell shock that you encountered, but your attitude is the way to go. Wishing you the best on your fight! You can beat this!

    You can get through this...I have...the news is like worst then a cold shower...you sort of enter a dark tunnel when you get told 'you have cancer'...no, it is not a forgettable experience but you are lucky the doctor said 'you will be ok' as mine had said to me and this was 25 years ago...

    Hugs and good thoughts going your way....
