Hi Griffin, please take Cheryl's advice and get it checked/biopsied by an experienced ENT...I think both Cheryl and I had been mis-diagnosed for several months...these cancers tend to grow fast. I would make an appt. ASAP so you can find out for sure.
hope it turns out to be nothing !

DX 12/6/10 of T3 SCC Tongue.
Surgery 1/3/11 was hemigloss & forearm free flap, midline mandibulectomy, Neck Disection-All nodes clear.
Ended rads 5/11/11. Taste buds back to about 80%. PEG removed 4/5/12, experimenting eating real food again. If I can do this, so can you !! Stay Strong.
