emilyp thank you for the reply and youre correct and thats what stuns me that the oral surgeon just took a look at it and said oh its not cancer it doesnt look like it is just as other 4 Ent had done so previously ive been having it since i last noticed it for about 6 months now and it still there what bothers me is the ear pain and throat pain that happen ever so often i mentioned these symptoms to them and said it could be caused by some other condition such as acid reflux but i dont understand why its unilateral to the side where the lump is...I cant sleep at night thinking I have cancer and cant get a proper diagnosis and ive been trying to find out what this is since i first noticed the lump hence the earlier you catch it the better but with these doctors im pretty much frustrated....

Thanks for the reply it's much appreciated
