Dear SSL

I have to agree with DonVila. I suggest another doctor/second opinion. With oral cancer, I have been told that the scans are OK but can miss things in the head and neck. In fact, with respect to my lymph nodes, they just took them even though nothing showed in the scans. And, they did find cancer in one of my nodes. I understand it is hard to find cancer in the nodes without a dissection unless it has grown significantly.

The fact that you have something on your tongue and now something in a node on the same side in your neck is a telltale.

Let us know. Stay safe and keep the faith.
