Hi Ed-
Hmm. What hospital are you at? The lump could be nothing but its best to have it checked out to know for sure. I know its frightening but you need to let your Drs. know of anything unusual. I don't kow what the actual statistics are of reoccurance of tongue cancer. That's confusing that the two Drs. gave you different information.
Anyways-- we are here for you. I know this is a little spooky but its proabably just a little bump or something. Keep a close eye on it and let your Drs. know right away OK?
