Hi Jack and welcome to a fellow Aussie and dentist from the beautiful Gold Coast wink
As you can see by my signature my cancer was floor of the mouth.
However since then I now have constant issues between the flap and tongue (top).
While my last biopsy in March did show no malignancy smile part of the report did say...
�The underlying stroma is composed of fibrovascular connective tissue with a patchy perivascular chronic inflammatory cell infiltrate.
Diagnosis TIP OF THE TONGUE: CHRONIC HYPERPLASTIC CANDIDIASI."
My concern as it appears to be for others is that the chronic irritation can turn into cancer.
I am happy to send the whole report and photos' by PM or email and when I get a chance will try taking measurements.
Let me know if you need help adding a signature.
