Thank you Brian and David. I wanted to thank you sooner but had some trouble logging in.

You are all heroes here. What a wonderful, supportive place you have created.

I saw the ENT today. He says the gland is soft and feels normal to him. It is the submandibular gland. He is going to see me again in three weeks and will send me for a CT if I am still worried. He did a full exam of my mouth and tonsils and said everything looks normal. He did not try to offer me an antibiotic.

So, this is good news. Next, I am going to see an oral surgeon and find out if I do have HPV and if so, what type so I know If I need take extra steps to detect oral cancer.


Thank you agin.
