So how has the checking been?

[Hypo]

I managed not to look at my mouth on Xmas eve and Xmas day.

I didn't looked on the 27th and I looked today.

For me, that is progress.

I am not looking tomorrow as it is a bank holiday and can't see anyone anyway.

I am still convinced I have oral cancer. My 'lesion' thing is the same, I guess I would be ill by now, tired or losing weight or something though? it still isn't bleeding or weeping so I am holding onto that. My dentist says OC lesions would usually be open and bleed and that isn't happening yet.

STILL waiting for my appointment with the specialist. Will be Thursday at the earliest now I guess. I would love not to look at ALL until my appointment comes through but doubt I can manage that. I guess if they thought it was OC I would have heard from them by now?

Yesterday was my boys' dad's funeral. Very emotional day. Now I am sure it will be me next.

So how about you guys?

I can't WAIT for my appointment.

To either start treatment or get the all clear, hopefully the later.

Then if I get the all clear I am going to kick HA's arse out of 2014

Hi hypo,

Well done for checking so little! I think you did brilliantly.

I didn't check Christmas and Boxing Day, but on the Friday when I was less busy and had less guests at my house, the HA started niggling again.

How is it that I can ignore it so much better when I am occupied and having fun with people? Surely that says that it is all in my head, as if it was "real" pain it wouldn't just take a holiday when I am enjoying myself.

Like you said, no point checking today or tomorrow so that's 2 days grace!

And I couldn't agree with you more about kicking HA's ass in 2014. I'm up for that! :)

Good for you, Pom :)

I was okay Christmas Day and Boxing Day, trying very hard not to check myself (I do admit I did check my poop on Boxing Day) I still got this big cancer phobia, I am scared of every cancer going, even those only females can get (I do think what if I on the rarest chance I may get a type of cancer only female cancer get)

Well, another person in the family has cancer.

And I am meant to believe that I haven't.

Life is one big cruel joke.
