Avatar f tn there's little difference between early and delayed treatment of an ovarian cancer recurrence. A study was done, and reported at ovariancancer dot org, showing that there is little value in treating an ovca recurrence when it's first detected by a rise in CA-125 readings. Looks like you can safely wait until there's other evidence of the relapse. I found this report in an October newsletter from the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance. http://www.ovariancancer.
Avatar n tn Thing is, my mom came from a long line of middle-European Jewish women, 4 generations of whom had breast cancer. I still tested negative. Then I got breast cancer, uterine cancer and ovarian cancer. If I'd tested positive for any of the known genetic mutations, I'd have *run* to the hospital and demanded a hysterectomy! Absolutely without hesitation! So, good luck to you. Keep us informed, OK?
Avatar f tn m a 31 year old male and about 5 months ago I noticed 2 bump on the side at the very back of my tongue which can only been seen if I stick it out really far, I went to the doctors because I also had a whiteish or yellow patch on the top of my tongue which they thought was due to gerd (acid reflux) they also mentioned mild thrush and put my on Medican for both (the nystatin did nothing for oral thrush) so they concluded it was acid reflux.
Avatar f tn My researching of ventral under toungue comes up as possible cancer etc as it’s more than three weeks. Would tongue cancer start this way or could I just be an infection.
Avatar m tn Don't know if your reading this stil but I went to ent he looked at it and said this little thing didnt seem to concerned about it and I explained i was worried about oral cancer he said he didn't think it was cancer cause of size and etc but did a biopsy dang that hurt he didn't freeze it he numbed it and used some huge clipper tong things and pulled it out then saturized it ouch i get results in a week still a little worried but he really didn't think it was cancer which helps
Avatar f tn Are you saying for cancer treatment? That is a tough one. Most hospitals will not treat cancer without insurance. Legally no hospital has to. They only have to treat you if you come into a ER bleeding to death. There are local doctors in our area who will treat breast cancer for women without insurance. They volunteer the surgery. I do not know how you would find that out may be the local chapter of the Cancer Society.
Avatar f tn and starting from there i had red dots on my tongue , ulcre all over my mouth , canker sores and white tongue and something like back on my cheek plate like a patch and theres like a line between this patch and the tumer which i can feel by my tongue ! and all these symptoms exist till now Had like 6 neative hiv teste last one was 16 weeks after my last exposure I visited a dr today ENT and he seemd surprised and said CT scan then 2 sec he changed his mind to a MRI face and cheeks !!
Avatar f tn It is possible that these nodules are metastases from his base of the tongue cancer. The decision to give or not to give further cancer treatment/s will depend on a lot of things. Consider the age of the patient, risks and benefits of treatment, possible side effects, and end point in making a decision. For now, your father needs the best supportive care he can get. Take care.
Avatar n tn I had a dosage of 125 mCi, 10 days ago, and a thyroidectomy due to papillary thyroid cancer with tall cells. I was also diagnosed with Breast cancer 3 years ago, and had a double mastectomy with reconstructive surgery and I'm doing fine from that but this thyroid cancer has really thrown me because of the Hashimoto's and the depressed hypo state I'm in I'm finder this cancer harder to cope with. And P.S. .....

Avatar m tn I have had these white rings near the back of my tongue and one on the tip of my tongue for a few months now. I can scrape them off with a tongue brush but they keep reappearing every morning. They don't change location, they're generally in the same place every time. I thought it might be thrush, but I have had two different doctors run fungal swabs and both came out negative for fungus.
Avatar f tn I have a skin coloured bump that has been on the tongue for over a month.
Avatar m tn After 5 days my problem has almost gone away but still very mild irritation and sore throat is there. Also my tongue is whitish but can be easily cleaned with tongue cleaner. Am continuously doing warm salty water goggling. Can any one tell what could be the problem?
Avatar m tn I would definitely have it checked this week. Oral cancer can start out this very way. It could be something less serious but unless it is checked you won't know. Time is of the essence and early detection saves lives. If you use tobacco, or ever have used tobacco it increases the urgency here.
Avatar f tn I also have the same issue.. I have a white stuff growing on the sides of my tongue Worried it might be oral cancer. Where did you go to get checked up? an ENT? What is the status of the tongue problem?
Avatar f tn About 2 weeks ago my husband noticed some spots on the side and top of his tongue. They seemed to have gone away then the one on top came back just a few days later pretty much in the same spot. Yesterday another one poped up on the border of his tongue. It seemed to get big fast. It looks like a bare spot with a white border but it not as red as the top spot. Could this be geographical tongue or something more serious like tongue cancer? He did visit the dentist and they feel it's GT.
Avatar n tn ve read that having any crooked or sharp teeth can be risk factors for developing tongue cancer/oral cancer. To boot, found out girlfriend has HPV so I'm sure I've been exposed to it orally (another risk factor). Sigh...
Avatar f tn Mouth cancer can cause a lump or area of thickened skin on the side of your tongue. A clinical examination is must. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause. Seek medical opinion. Keep me posted. Best luck and regards!
Avatar n tn I have been stressing for two days over this little spot on my tongue which I bit about 4 years ago. I have been terrified to go the dentist, but I do have an appointment tomorrow. This spot has not changed or grown. It just seems like it gets irritated when I'm stressed. It's on the left side of my tongue, it's not on the side, it's on the top. I can see my teeth marks. This spot is perfectly round. I remember cutting away that skin numerous times before.
