Penny, It would be unusual for a cancer to grow fast enough for you to be able to notice it in 4 days. There is no way anyone could diagnose what this is from a photo.

You should be able to find a service (social) that can guide you to medical help.

Mark, 21 Year survivor, SCC right tonsil, 3 nodes positive, one with extra-capsular spread. I never asked what stage (would have scared me anyway) Right side tonsillectomy, radical neck dissection right side, maximum radiation to both sides, no chemo, no PEG, age 40 when diagnosed.
