Gary - your comment about the salivary gland is humorous - b/c I did the same thing. Although, I did find out it was the opening to what I believe would be my Parotid gland before I called the doctor. I realized it wasn't cancer - when I found the same little lump / bump type area on the other side - although it just wasn't as visible. It was inside my cheek and the way my mirrors are - the light reflected well to see on one side but not as well to see the other side - and I didn't find the matching one for a day or so.
