Hey don't beat yourself up about the lozenges. It is just great you were able to quit the most addictive drug in the world called cigaretts. Hopefully you will get good news and this will be a benign cyst or something. Vigilant screening of your mouth every day to feel for things that might be different on one side than the other is a good way to gain some comfort. I have had three cancers and found each one before the docs did by doing this. Keep the faith.
In 1994 I found a 3cm tumor on my right tonsil. After 3 rounds of chemo, I underwent a radical neck dissection with a peck flap. I had a reoccurance which required twice a day radiation treatments and then had 19 years cancer free. I then found a very small tumor on my right tonsil. It was removed. Then I found a 1 cm mass near the base of my tongue on the left side. I had two partial glossectomys with bad margins and then then underwent Brachytherapy.
