Cancer Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Re: The Last Word Still, that's better than the thing I feared (and I'd heard of): a quick-growing tumor compressing the nerve to that part of the face. IIRC, the case I heard of was a salivary gland tumor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliceTheOwl Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Re: The Last Word Yeek. No, luckily, it was no such thing. It was only the thing I'd feared most. (Yeah, I would rather have a cancerous tumor than a root canal.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemming Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Re: The Last Word We had a cat with an infected salivary gland. After we cleared it up, much nicer cat. Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cancer Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Re: The Last Word Actually, I had one of those once. Cleared up fast with antibiotics, but not fun at all. Not even a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems they're breedin' 'em nasty this year. Josh has had a chest cold for over two weeks, now. He's still coughing, and he's jealous of the fact that I can drink milk, and he can't.

Cancer Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Re: The Last Word My wife & I are definitely still going at reduced effectiveness. I can think, and stand & talk for at least an hour, which is about all I'm called to do today. Thankfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
