My tumour started at the back of my tongue and worked it's way forward. I noticed something wrong in Feb, and finally went to my doctor in April. She couldn't see anything (I could feel something but sisn't know what). It finally became visible neer the back in July, so probably about 8 months to get from your hubby's size to the size when it was removed.
Even if the pathology comes back with something, it is early.
Enjoy your turkey, and you have something to be really thankful for!
