Well, anyway that's what I am hoping. Today's ENT followup was less than optimal. What had been "palpitated" last month as "perhaps scarring" now is a pea sized lump under the skin of my tongue at the base near the tumor site. So MRI in 2 days and a full biopsy "soon" is the plan. My ENT and I decided that "watchful waiting" was too stressful, esp with major potential for serious downside. So my lump's future is to be cut and snipped, then whisked off to the pathology lab. I really hate how the fear of recurrence haunts every ache and pain or symptom. that's the worst part of cancer in my mind (although the radiation was the worst for my body)
Anybody out there have benign lumps that are nice and soft and small just pop up opposite a bony jaw protrusion? If not, I hope to be the first.
