I just had my regular checkup yesterday with my ENT (4 years out now - yay!) and had to see a new provider as my regular doctor is out on medical leave. Anyway, the new doctor, who is new to that practice, is a woman and actually also mentioned this phenomenon to me during the exam. She said that no one knows the correlation right now, but that one school of thought is that it is estrogen related.
Stage 1 SCC on tongue 3mm (7/1/14)
Biopsy had clean margins
Successful Surgery to remove more tissue and confirm wider margins (7/8/14)
Hoping I'm one of the lucky ones and this is just a small blip in my life, and just makes for a story of "how I spent my summer vacation" down the road.
