had the results back, bit strange really, they found traces of calcium in my tongue, keeping a very close eye on it as sometimes calcium is found in pre cancerous stages, also had the results back for sleep apnea, not so good, ive to go in today and be fitted with a cpap machine and mask which i will have to wear every night as i stop breathing quite a bit, thats scary, but it should mean that i get a reasonable nights rest for the 1st time in 3 years, and that to be honest sounds like heaven, wish me luck please, think im gonna need it :-D

That's good news Sleepy. At least they now know what they're dealing with and can keep a close eye on your tongue :-D

Bummer about the cpap and mask but it may not be as bad as you think. I'm sure you'll get used to it and it will just feel like second nature to wear it at night - and hopefully you'll be sound asleep so you won't notice it anyway )t'

Everything seems to be taken care off. You tongue problem is being watched and before any probelms arise which is good. Well done your dentist.
As said I am sure the mask thingy you will get used too and have lovely long nights of sleep.

Well, all in all that's good news. As others have said, you will have regular checks on your tongue now and any developments will be found early, which is so important.

As for the apnia - as you say, once you have got used to wearing it, at least you can relax at night now. My hubs suffers with it, and I have often been on the verge of resuscitating him, when he has started to breath again!

Big hugs. {hug}

Hello sleepy, I hope all is well with you and I am glad things were not as bad as you thought. It must have been so worrying for you though. {hug} ? It is a good thing your dentist spotted something and as Richard says you are in good hands {hug}
'Pa' had cancer of the tongue, and it was his dentist that noticed something odd. He was referred to his doctors and in hospital the next day. That was 7 years ago(I think!) and all is well and fine with him now. His cancer was dealt with very swiftly indeed.
I am glad for you that your Apnia is being dealt with,

best wishes to you
