I was scheduled for surgery today for removal of 1/5 of my tongue as there has been a growth there for over a year, when it was biopsied and was benign. Last week decided to get 2nd opinion from surgeon who did my neck disection. He said no surgery, first biopsy and then MRI. Got results today and it's an infection from having thrush which the knife happy young DR. missed a year ago.I'd strongly suggest a second opinion.
Best wishes to all,
