I have a lump in my mouth. It's just under my tongue... it's sore and it's bigger than it was a week ago. Two docs have taken a look or a feel more like. Neither thinks it's anything. Why does this not make me feel better??
I'm going to my family doctor next week to tell him... well i would tell him except he's outta town and someone is standing in for him for a month. That's ok... it's always a good rule to get as many doctors as you possibly can to look at things like lumps. Not that it really did me any good the first time.
I would much rather see my family doc... he's really good and i know i could tell him how concerned i am that everyone seems to think this lump is nothing when we all know you can't know what a lump is until you stick a needle in it, suck something out and have a look at it under a microscope.
I'm not much of an alarmist but i think this is good reason for concern. Location wise it's probably within 2 inches of my first cancer. It hurts... my first cancer didn't hurt but apparently it was supposed to if it was cancer. This one is getting bigger... my first cancer didn't get bigger in the 9mos my ex-docs told me it was nothing... but apparently it should have if it was cancer.
Well i guess there is no emergency... i'll go see the family doc stand in first... see what he says. Then i'll see my family doc when he gets back next month and see what he says. I've already told my oncologist... but it didn't hurt when i saw him and it's got bigger since then. I could go see my ENT... i just have this feeling they are all going to blow this off. Misdiagnosis is such a common story from ACC'ers.

"I have heard it all my life,
A voice calling a name i recognized as my own.
Sometimes it comes as a soft bellied whisper.
Sometimes it holds an edge of urgency.
But always it says:
Wake up my love.
You are walking asleep.
There's no safety in that."
