Keep in mind that radiation and chemo do all kinds of strange things to the tissues in your mouth. Also, from what I've heard, cancer does not grow that quickly, I may be wrong.
More likely then not you�re having a swelling issue. Having said that I think it's very important that you have brought this to the doctor�s attention and will be having a look see pronto.
Your doing everything right, try not to panic, telling you not to be concerned is a worthless thought as I know every small change I detect concerns me.
Best of luck on Wed.
