I really am about to lose it

She really is, as I always think the worst and wasn't aware of possible non-invasive issues. Still, I don't think given my history, tho he's been my dentist for years, that he is going to want to take the responsibility of saying this is absolutely, positively not a problem. But still hoping for strong reassurance of "almost sure there is no problem," as he directs me to an oral surgeon. With only an hour before leaving, I'm nervous Nellie.

Katy I am the same damn way, if something is wrong, physically, I instantly think of the worst case scenario and run with it.

I can understand what you are going through. We will all be anxiously awaiting your return form the Dentist.
 
Katy, he may still direct you to an oral surgeon whether he thinks it's cancer or not, they always cover their a**es...malpractice suits are always on their mind. They all have malpractice insurance but it makes them look bad when someone checks their record when looking for a new dentist.

i am probably the worst, I got bent out of shape with a routine blood test...results should be back soon hoping I don't get a call.
 
Hope all goes well for both you ladies... I've had two people in my family that had to have oral minor surgery for some kind of clogged glands in the mouth.
 
Woo Hoo! It was a blocked salavia gland. His assistant gave me a heads up before the dentist came in and confirmed. They're very common he said. I would have cut cartwheels out of the office if I were able. I celebrated by meeting a friend for lunch who was nice enough to pick up the check. So many wonderful people in this world!

Thank you all so much for caring, and CeeCee, you're Queen of my day! A very special thank you to you.

That bears repeating.
I am so HAPPY for you!

:happy::woohoo1::happy:
 
You all have no idea how much your support means.....I told NO ONE else, not even the friend who took me to lunch today. I felt as if talking about it would jinx me, but last minute reached out on the board. It felt so good to get it out and even more to read all your posts. Many thanks to each of you. :bighug:
 
That's why I like being a member of a senior forum, you meet new people even if only online, you learn new things and you will find that they are there for you when you need it and sometimes you can tell them more then you would tell your kids...a good place to unload.

I bet you will sleep like a baby tonight!
 
I am only seeing this now,being new and all. When I first read your post,my first thought was "blocked salivary gland." Had one myself,my dad had one once and my son had one once. Of course,with your daughter`s history,of course you thought the worst! I would have too! Sleep well tonight!

Interesting and many opinions as to how much easier it is to share with on-line friends than those you know in real life. The first person I called was my daughter who has been through it...from the dentists' parking lot. Couldn't wait to share the good news with her.

For sure, tonight is light years from last night...whew!

You nailed it, Mrs R, my daughter's issue (plus I'm a 21 yr survivor as well) was doing me in. Mouth cancer is very rare, but when you've dealt with it first hand for 2 yrs you automatically fear the worst. Feels so good w/the weight lifted.
 
Great news Katy, you worry wort! But that's okay, that's what we're here for, to share our fears and achievements. You worry along with us any time you feel the need.
