Hi
I have a small lump under the back of front lower tooth between tongue and lower front tooth which is not visible but if I put my finger and press deep I can feel hard lump.
Even ENT doctor also felt the lump, he ordered CT scan which did not show anything. Then he did FNA biopsy which came back as no malignacy identified.
Now Doctor is thinking of doing excisional biposy with full ANESTHESIA.
Should I request him do another FNA instead off
excisional biopsy?.
I am worried about excisional biopsy becasue if it is malignant then I may need another surgery.
Right now i am going to a doctor in Ireland Cancer Center, Cleveland. If it is malignant I would like to go to the best hospitals like John Hapkins or Sloan and have surgery and treatment there. I dont want to have half surgery here and half surgery at different cancer center. Please suggest what should I do?
And also you have any idea why did my lump did not show up in CT scan?
Thank you for your time.
