I guess the ENT decided to take the "wait-and-see" approach based on the look of the patch and the location and...whatever else. Believe me, I have done the research on this to the max. Husband had the return visit to the periodontist two days ago - patch is still of some concern, but lump may be of more concern.

At this point, based on what I am reading, I am a little more concerned about the lateral tongue mass. But that could be from biting his tongue - I am starting to see that post-radiation tongues are a whole different ballgame. Previous rules may not apply. Don't know - just trying to deal with it all until time passes.

Thanks,
Anita
