Thanks. Still trying to get in to see someone but my dentist is worried about an area in the root of #15 that’a showing a radio luminosity with a possible lesion she’s saying is suspicious for cancer, and finally is suggesting I seek a biopsy after chasing this for 3 months. So. Yeah. Now worried about cancer and given the swollen node in my jaw for 3+ months despite 4 courses of antibiotics— I am concerned for something sinister.

As always thank you for being such an amazing leader Brian and thank you to everyone on this forum.
