My origanal ENT told me SCC was a slow growing cancer, that I could come back in two months and it would't look much different.When I called him one week after biopsy to tell him it seemed to be growing like crazy, he dismissed it as post biopsy swelling.When I went back one week after that he was shocked at the growth,and told me it was no longer operable.I asked for second opinion,and diagnosis was confirmed.At that point I fired him and went with 2nd opinion Dr. At this point oral surgeon recomended against removing any teeth as void would fill with tumer,and to start rad as soon as possible.I believe cutting into the monster angered it and encourged it to spread.Why is it that you hear of this happening as often as it does? It may not be very scientific but I would strongly encourage anyone getting a biopsy to ask for fine needle type.
