PaulB, the PET/CT did not go below my waist.

In the spring I had a red sore spot on the top R/H edge of my tongue adjacent to my wisdom teeth (still have all four). There was also a white strip directly below that, on the underside. I also had a white spot above my vocal cords. The surgeon biopsied the red spot and the white spot.

In October the red spot and part of the white strip under my tongue were removed, sort of connecting the areas.

Now in November at PGCC they photographed a white spot on some flaps that I assume are above the vocal cords. If they are the vocal cords, then I am happy to only have one spot down my throat.

Now to further thicken the plot, VCC used some blue "vinegar" dye in my mouth and tell me that I have something developing on the front L/H underside of my tongue about an inch back from the tip.

There, I had to write this in hope of keeping track of all these things for me. Sorry if it's brain damage for you folks. Thanks for reading.
