I had surgery and no radiation or chemo. About a month after surgery a small white pimple showed up on my tongue where the tumor was taken out. I waited a week, watched it, but it didn't go away. The more I played with it with my tongue or teeth it started to bleed. I thought the cancer is back, they didn't get it all, my mind raced, I drove my family and friends nuts. I called Moffitt within 2 days I was in to see the surgeon. He told me it's scar tissue from the surgery I thought Hmmmm sure it is. About 2 weeks later it disappear it hasn't been back since and I stopped playing around with it.
I also have scar tissure where they took out the lymph nodes on my neck I massage it daily it feels much better. I didn't know anything about scar tissue, it might be scar tissue your dealing with, just a thought.
I hope this helps. Hang in there...
