Hello all,
I finished radiation 5/7/08 and am home alone this weekend. For the last couple of days I have been able to feel a small bump/lump at the base of my tongue. Now I am getting myself all worked up thinking that it could be another location of SCC. I already have an appt. with my chemo doctor on Tuesday but just wanted to reach out to people who understand my fears. Yesterday I was just thinking it was one of those temporary irritations that sometimes occur inside the mouth that go away in a short period of time.

Has anyone else had this experience?
