At the back of my tongue there is a mass. Soft..does not hurt, I can move it but its back far so it makes me gag when I try to check it. I just had surgery in Aug and I do not want to go through it again. What is the chance that this is a tumor again? I dont want to put my family through this. I have 4 babies and it breaks my heart to be sick. I guess I will have to call my ENT on monday and set up an appointment. This sucks. I hate it.
