On May 10 I discovered a 2mm growth on the ridge in front of my right tonsil. This is the same side of the mouth as all the other fun but further back. All previous SCC has been floor of mouth or lateral tongue. It looks like a flat, oval growth with the surrounding tissue on the reddish side. It doesn't hurt. If you touch it with a Q-tip it bleeds and the outer cover appears to wipe away leaving a raw tissue. Within an hour the cover reappears. It is gradually getting bigger. I'm probably being a hypochondriac but I occasionally feel a vague discomfort in the ear on that side and sometimes I feel like there is something else further down on that side.

I've contacted my SO and have moved up my follow-up appointment, originally sceduled for Aug 2, to June 21. frown
