Joined: Feb 2004 Posts: 261 | Like all of us, I'm sure, I always feel around under my chin & neck for swollen lympnodes or whatever. Yesterday, I found a painful lump under my left jaw & I started freakin'out! After I got a grip, literally, I realized it was just a big zit! One of those ingrown hair kind! Scared the crap out of me! I've never been so happy to have a pimple in my life! Gosh I hope thats all anyone else gets & myself. Hope I didn't gross anyone out!
dx 2/11/04 scca bot T3 IU 2B MO poorly differentiated, margins ok, 3/16 modest, jaw split, over half of tongue removed, free flap from left forearm - finished chemo & rad treatment 5/20/04

Joined: Sep 2004 Posts: 15 | Wow. Aren't we all in the same boat? My dad has oral cancer and I'm on here because of him, but I'm an endometrial cancer survivor and I worry about anything that feels abnormal done there even though everything is gone ... Now the more I read about oral cancer - geesh. I'm feeling MY lymph nodes in my neck all the time! | | |
