In August I had surgery for parotid gland scc tumor removal along with one positive scc lymp node removed. 60 Gy of radiation 6 weeks and no chemo. This week I have found a node like sore spot about the size of a pea on the back area of top of tongue. Not pain but I know its there. Also a little horse in talking too. Woried that I might have another cancer come up in another place since I went thru all that mask and mouth problems from the rad.
I had my tonsils out when I was 6 so none there. The Squamous came from a skin cancer that was positive SCC. Anyone have a spot on the top of the tongue almost in the center and back by the taste buds. Also is this what is called base of the tongue cancer area or is that in another spot on the tongue.
Thanks for any information to ease my old mine. I am 82 years young.
