Hello everyone,

Sorry for my absence, but I just wanted to come back when I had more news of the situation rather than just spilling all my worries on here without any real updates. After reading many messageboard posts like mine, its irritating when the original poster disappears and never gives an update or conclusion on their situation. I vow not to be that person.

After seeing my family doctor he said he couldn't even see the lesion (I don't know how that even happened?), and everything appeared normal to him. When I pushed for it he said he can refer me to an ENT Specialist for a 2nd opinion, I said yes and had an appointment scheduled.

Yesterday I saw the ENT specialist and though he was a little rude, and kind of seemed to brush off my concerns, he did examine my throat by inserting this camera through a tube, up my nose and down my throat. He said everything in regards to my throat looks normal. He also examined the growth on the side of my tongue and he said it looks like a wart, but he wouldn't be too concerned about it. He offered to remove it and run a biopsy on it but I refused because I had an appointment the next day to get it removed and biopsied by the Maxillofacial surgeon the next day.

Today was that appointment, I had the surgery and they removed it. Test results will come back in 3 weeks... 3 stressful weeks. Now I just have to wait. I've been telling myself that if 5 doctors have said they're "not concerned about it" (Sexual health doctor from the first post, Dentist, Family Doctor, ENT, and Maxillofacial Surgeon) then I should be okay if the results come back as normal.

I'm just wondering, what do you all think? Should I get a 2nd opinion from another ENT? Only thing is now the main lesion that sparked all this is gone now. Let me know, much appreciated...
