In my time I have never heard of such a thing. The doctor was right...cancer takes over faster and more aggressively. It sound like you've kept an eye on it all these years. If it does turn out to be pre-cancerous or cancer you've caught it early, which is the best defense! Sorry I had no definite answer for you but would like follow your story. Let us know when you find out. With everyone here I sure someone will chime in.

15 year survivor of tonsil cancer. In 2002 I was diagnosed with Stage III squamous cell carcinoma. I had a left neck dissection, teeth removed, and 38 radiation treatments. In 2015 I received a feeding tube and in 2016 a trach, both due to radiation side effects. But I'm happy to say that life has been good to me!!
