I know my tongue measured a 7 on the PET and it was considered an invasive endophylic tumor. What scared me was that I had a dental appointment 1 month prior to finding a "junior mint" size tumor on my tongue, and there was nothing there! So this tumor came up very quickly and aggressively. Still no word on my PET/CT today(monday) It was done Thursday... I will give a call if I dont hear today. Thanks for everyone's support.
