saw my oral surgeon again this weekend. he took another look and told me he is 100% sure this is nothing cancerous. he diagnosed me with swollen salivary ducts. He said he is absolutely sure because he has seen them before and cancer simply does not act or look the same as these cysts. He wrote me a prescription for an anti-inflammatory mouth rinse and told me to come back in a month. he said he did not feel a biopsy was even necessary because he is 100% sure he knows what it is. he told me to come back once the rinse is done and if they are still there and i am still worried he can biopsy or destroy the cysts with a laser. he really made me feel a lot better. he said he wants to stay away from surgery because it will cause some unnecessary destruction of normal tissue but i of course can still pursue that option. i am not a doctor and he seemed to be very sure of himself, i feel much better now, just wondering what you guys think?
