CT didn't come back clean. The mass that I found is new and is 8mm in size. My doc consulted w/ the head of neuroradiology and another doc. One said he thought it should be biopsied and the other wasn't too concerned and recommended close observation. My doc wants to see me in a couple of weeks for another scan and to discuss needle biopsy or removal altogether. He said that my tongue and surgical site looked great, but the mass has to be investigated. Personally, I'd like him to cut it out tomorrow! It's only been 4 months and I already have something new. I was just starting to feel good again. It's hard not to think the worst.
