I don't want to get into much detail right now, but I'm off to Montrose to see a specialist for a biopsy and perhaps a surgery tomorrow. Swollen lymph nodes in my neck and some other symptoms make this one a bit spooky for me.

I would love that Mike, I hope so too! Funny you mention this, I was promising myself if all goes well I am getting out for more, longer rides. Maybe even some aimless coddiewomples! I've been burning some daylight, and spending some time over the last couple weeks waiting for appointments, worrying, pacing the floor and even shedding some anxious tears. At least I'll know some more tomorrow... BTW, I enjoy exploring dirt roads -- unless they become washboard-y.

Sitting in the lobby waiting for Cheryl to finish "big city" shopping and come fetch me. She loses track of time when doing so, could be awhile.  IT'S NOT cancer, Doctor's confidence is high enough he says no biopsy is called for. Thanks so much everyone! This club is awesome.

Don’t know how I missed the start of this thread because I definitely would have put a shout out to the big guy upstairs for ya so I’ll get some out for future use. It’s great to hear you have a huge load off your shoulders and have reason to celebrate. Hope everything is smooth sailing ahead.

IT'S NOT cancer, Doctor's confidence is high enough he says no biopsy is called for. Thanks so much everyone! This club is awesome. That's good news Colorado.  I've been going through this myself. The PET-CT said no lung cancer (despite the few spots IDed on LDCT), and the MRI said said no prostate cancer (despite the elevated PSA and giant swollen sonofabich, and a negative 12 strike biopsy 13 years ago). Of course, this is no guarantee of future fun. The worry is not fun. In the meantime, I have changed my diet for life, walk a couple miles and exercise every day, lost weight and my pants fall down.

Praying in Fl.
More Prayers from Pan-handle of FL. Adding you to our SS class list.  Thanks again, prayers no longer needed but I'll take an extra!  A big scare and huge sigh of relief. Long story short, it is a fairly large (marble sized) protrusion growing under the tongue from the bone in my lower jaw, and another smaller one growing near it. A few more still along the other side. Very unnerving, but apparently not particularly dangerous. I have some other complicating factors that were potential cancer red flags. Like the Tom Petty song, The Waiting Is The Hardest Part. It was. It took about 10 days to see my PCP, who recommended I see the specialist in Montrose. That took a other six days. Much pacing and reading scary internet oral cancer sites. The Montrose office had indicated on the phone that they may just remove the entire foreign object at my first visit, I was pretty wound up the night before seeing the head, neck and throat guy. It was good to discover In have a weird chunk of bone growing out of my jaw! The lymph swelling was unrelated to this, and is resolving.

Most times in life, we worry more than the outcome would warrant. Thankfully this was no exception. It was weird enough that my PCP thought a specialist should take a look at it. Admittedly browsing the gnarly oral cancer pictures on the internet between appointments didn't help much.

Some motorcycle forum commenters are self styled doctors. They are not the smartest of the smart. They give out unwanted and unwarranted advice at the drop of a hat. Many times they give out dangerous opinions.

I'm not attacking you. Those whackadoodle web sites you base your life on are not educational.
doctors actually have very little education on how the body actually works
aerospace engineers actually have very little education on how to develop aircraft and spacecraft.
computer scientists actually have very little education on how to write computer programs.
brick masons actually have very little knowledge of how to apply mortar.

Well Cos, the attackers actually have to make things up to do their attacking. One just flat-out lies and the other one takes a sentence out of context because they're so smart.  Meanwhile, a nice prayer thread along with well wishes and some sharing of information goes to the dark side.. No wonder we have another board, some people just can't help themselves.
