So with your much appreciated and detailed reply I opted for the CT scan which came back negative. Dr. Gross and Dr. Lenkowski reviewed it and confirmed there is nothing there as of now except for a mucous retention cyst. Dr. Gross said he can remove it but it may not resolve anything and is a fairly significant procedure. Every single ENT admits that the anomalies throughout my mouth including the cyst on my palatine tonsil are not pathological or anything they can deal with. He said if he takes my tonsils and my lingual which requires resection of my tongue and their is no tumor then I'm at square one without any diagnosis and could still get cancer.
So frustrating, my mouth is a hot mess, but I guess there is nothing I can do. I showed Dr. Gross the study demonstrating early diagnosis of this is almost impossible but he was indifferent. He said he has seen
HPV cancer countless times times including earlier in the day (someone had a growth from their uvula). There is nothing I can do now. I have been to the three most distinguished ENT in the surrounding 200 miles.
