Well at least med terms class helped me out a bit, lol. My doctor said that some people go their whole life with scans that show hypermetabolic activity. So I am not really worried as I am just curious.

Well, that's a lil lie. I am a little worried as the jaw is a "new" spot, but my doc didn't seem worried, so I am not really worried, but just a little.

But what exactly is the soft tissue of the right hemimandible? now that i know that it is the right half of the lower jaw, what is the soft tissue? is that gums or ? I really don't have a clue what that is referring to.
