In fact at my last check up a month or so ago I heard the surgeon mutter something to his surgeons about "granuloma" or "granulation". Because he wasn't MY surgeon who had been called into an urgent operation, I didn't follow this up, I was sort of put off guard by seeing a different doctor. If I did hear right, it could have grown bigger and painful since then. I'm still waiting to hear when I will get an appointment - I'm sure it will be sometime soon.
1996, ovarian cancer surgery + cisplatin and taxol.
September, 2007, SCC of left lateral tongue. Excision.
October, 2009 recurrence in scar tissue, T1NOMO. Free flap surgery from left wrist - neck dissection. 63 year old New Zealander. No chemo, no RT.
February, 2014. New primary in left buccal mucosa. Marginal mandibulectomy, neck dissection, right arm free forearm flap. T1N0M0 but third occurrence and some areas of concern: RT started 8 April and finished 19 May.
