More Info...

We received the results for Steve's biopsy last night. Dr. Grist called to tell us that the results came back positive for cancer. The next step is to have a new CT Scan done and then meet with the doctor to see what needs to be done. This spot is pretty far back on the tongue so it will be hard to get to.

Today we heard from the dermatologist that Steve saw recently. She had removed a few spots he had. It turns out that the spot she found on his nose is squamous cell carcinoma (which happens to be the same cancer Steve deals with on his tongue). We will meet with her on July 9th to see what needs to be done. Since this is new to us I looked online and found that most patients are sent to a specialist and have the cancer removed through a process called Mohs surgery.

Meantime I am working with bureaucracy to see if I can get Steve's implants approved by insurance. They consider it cosmetic and so it is an automatic "NO".

I will keep you updated when we know more. God bless.
