Hi. It's amazing that I have worked with computers for 15 years and have hardly posted on this type of forum. I found out today that I have a marble sized lump under an inflamed circle on the right side of my tongue. My Doctor has been treating the circle with three biopsies, removal of the inflamed area, cortosone paste, a shot, and a potent mouth wash coctail and the area has still not healed since May. An MRI finally found the lump, so, given the history and symptoms, the lump is going to be treated like tongue cancer. Biopsies show only inflamation. Does a two week recovery sound realistic?
