Hmm. Well, my removed nodes all tested clear. I suppose they might have missed one in testing? This second round was just my initial incision hurting, and there was a lump of scar tissue. He said biopsy, because no way to tell what was behind it otherwise. Apparently it was not so much scar tissue as new cancer. My husband says it was something like 1mm by maybe 20mm long. I assume down the length of the tongue. More details next week, of course.

It is kind of interesting how the swelling has not crossed the midline, and you can see the centerline of my tongue is shoved way over to the left to make room for my right side balloon tongue. I would laugh if I was able.
