Bascially my lesion was small to begin with and spread within a couple of months. It was sore, white on top and red underneath. If I ate anything spicy it would bring tears. It also started to bleed before the biopsy.
I had the surgery and my lymph nodes removed as a precaution, my decison to have the lymph nodes removed. If I didn't I didn't want to sit here thinking what if......
I'm glad you found this site hopefully everything turns out in your favor. The people on here have a wealth of information we've been there.
Hope all goes well for you. Take care. Connie
