I posted a few weeks ago because of spot in my mouth. My dentist was treating as a Thrust infection.
I saw a oral surgeon this morning. I thought at most they would just do a biopsy. My surgeon said no he wanted to remove the whole area. That it would be actual surgery.
They are doing it in the morning. I think one reason I am scared as it seems to be happening so fast.
My surgeon seems to think its one of three things.
A fungus, a pre-cancerous area or cancer.
He did tell me he may have to go down into the muscle area.
Has anyone here had an area removed where they went into the muscle of the cheek? Was it very painful? Does it leave any premament damage to the cheek muscle? I forgot to ask my oral surgeon as I was kinda in a daze.
Thanks for listening, Debbie
