The first spot was inside my left cheek then another seperate spot appeared behind my top left molar. The second time I had cancer was a tiny spot almost the same place as the first time on the inside of my cheek. Now the third round was the one where the cancer was in my jaw bone. It was found by a biopsy on my lower left gum line but the PET/CT scan showed cancer in the jawbone. Not sure if this helps you or not.
