Hi, I can only tell you what happened to me,makes me wonder how the rest of us got here. My dentist sent me to oral surgeon,He did 2 biopsys and 1 x-ray.He sent me to Geisinger Medical Centre in Danville, Pa to a ENT. ENT confirmed that I needed to have tumor removed,sent me to Radiology for MRI, not full body like you see on TV, just head and neck, they take tons of pictures in every direction possible, Then I went back to appear before a tumor panel, 12 to 14 Doctors looked at me with opinion and with the idea they might be needed with my future care. There were 3or4 ENT's plus their interns, bone cancer specalist, lymp node cancer specialist( I didn"t like him he pinched me hard), DDs,MHA, and 2 plastic surgeons and 1 or 2 interns.I dropped bone and lymph node specalists after operation and all clear in this area.Now my cancer was Stage 4 and growing so jumped pretty quick we spent a week going in and doing tests to get ready and they operated quickly.It would not hurt for you to see an ENT and have him run some tests for your peace of mind.You are probably fine, but if you are worried ,doing something will only help. gnelson
