I am sorry to hear of your ongoing troubles, but glad the cancer hasn't recurred! I haven't heard of this type of hyperplasia, but "over healing" as your doctor calls it does occur in other instances. (They used to call it "proud flesh" years ago when I was dealing with veterinarians and horses in the Southern States). Do let us know how your checkup Wednesday turns out.
