That's what I thought when he told me that. Supposedly this guy is very good at what he does, always flying around and out of the country to do surgeries and what not. So I trust him. But he couldn't give me any kind of a definite answer. He said if it was cancer, especially in the floor of the mouth almost 100% of the time your lymph nodes will be very noticibly swollen. He said that my xray showed that although these lumps feel hard, the xray went right through them meaning that they are not calcified, most likely not tumourous. He narrowed it down to 2 or 3 benign problems. He said he didn't want to do a biopsy right away because after it I would be quite sore for quite a while and talking and eating would be painful. It was frustrating, I was about to tell him to just cut me open for God's sake and let me know for sure. I think I may visit an ENT, who will probably just want to do a biopsy, which is what my oral surgeon will most likely have to do to me in a couple weeks anyway. So ugh, the not knowing is hard to deal with. The saltwater rinse is helping quite a bit with the slight swelling and pain, but like the penicillin, isn't doing much else. Oh well, this should all get figured out soon enough.
