I have mixed feelings about moving up the biopsy. When a tongue "lump" appeared in less than year after TX, it was November. My ENT was concerned but we decided to schedule a MRI for January 2nd so I could go through the Holidays still celebrating being "cancer free". I am so very glad now that I did. The one month delay had no real negative impact on treating my recurrence and I had the most wonderful Thanksgiving and Christmas in a very long time even though I was fooling myself.
