Oh what a relief it is!!!

The results are in!  The pathology results of the tumor.  I am happy to share the good news that the doctors did a fantastic job of taking off the tumor and the results were negative.  Oh what a relief it is!!!

It feels so good to hear Dr. C2 say the magic words 'congratulations, we took everything out and the results are negative'.  It definitely put a smile on my face :)

What's next?  The palate is healing well and I will have to go back in four weeks for another follow-up.  I still have to use the stent (mouth guard) until it is comfortable enough for me not to use it.  Solid food is back on the plate but I should still exercise caution that it does not affect the area.  The pains?  They said it will get easier as the weeks go by and to continue taking Tylenol 3 if the pain is unbearable or the liquid Advil if it is.

Again I say, oh what a relief it is!
