Angelia,

When Carol went for her followup with the ENT at the end of June, Carol had told him about some pain in the left chin, lower jaw area. She also has a small bump on her left chin and is puffy. He couldn't visibly see anything on the inside of her mouth, had a panoramic radiograph done right then. The radiograph didn't show anything then he did a core biopsy. I'm glad he didn't take a back seat because he couldn't "see it". Unfortunately the biopsy is positive as I posted on another thread. We are still so appreciative to this day that Carol was referred to this ENT upon original diagnosis in Dec.

Linda
