CANCER STUFF
The trip to the cancer clinic pretty well went as expected. I saw the radiation oncologist this time. Sometimes i just see my ENT who did my surgery. Everything looks good. He wants me to have a followup CAT scan soon. They're still concerned with the abnormal area they can see in the bone of my jaw. I forget what they call it now... i'm tired. They still can't say what it is... mets or radiation damage. Either way there's good reason to keep looking at it to see what it's doing. It would seem likely to me that it's radiation damage but what do i know.
I flogged the lump in the floor of my mouth to death one more time. They were real good about it. The oncologist had a good look and poke around then went and fetched my ENT. I told him i was just being a pain in the butt and worrying about the lump in my mouth again when he asked what was up.
He checked it out for what must be the tenth time now and concluded it was a swollen sublingual gland. I told him well i'm just really paranoid about the whole salivary gland thing with already having had salivary gland cancer to which he explained... i have every right to be paranoid but if i got a second salivary gland cancer after already having parotid cancer it would be absolutely amazing... they've never had this happen or heard of it happening... i've got more chance of getting breast cancer, or uterine cancer or to quote him 'cancer of my big toe' than a second salivary cancer. Okay i think i can finally sort of forget about this stupid lump... kinda... i think.
His parting words? "You look great, go play!"... of course.

"I have heard it all my life,
A voice calling a name i recognized as my own.
Sometimes it comes as a soft bellied whisper.
Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency.
But always it says:
Wake up my love.
You are walking asleep.
There's no safety in that."
