Avatar n tn How long does it take for cancer to take enffect? I in africa and have just small info on breast cancer. can some one educate me? Cause i discover a small knot in my breast 15yrs ago.
Avatar f tn There is no way to know how long it took to grow. Cysts grow at different rates for different women. You won't know the type of cyst until it is removed. Is it complex? If it is, you should get a consult with a gynecologic oncologist. They have more experience removing large tumors and will be able to handle staging and tumor removal if it is found to be malignant.
Avatar f tn Since then, I am having the same symptoms I had with the larger cyst, only worse this time. How fast can one of these things grow? Any of you had one being monitored that grew fast? I feel like it's pretty big, but can't believe it would grow that much in two months. I'm just so frustrated. I have been dealing non-stop with these problems since April. I've had the big cyst, abdominal wall pain from nerve damage from the surgery and now this new cyst.
Avatar f tn about two months ago I noticed a small pimple on the top center of my tongue. It went away and then came back. While at my cleaning, my dentist said that it was probably a growth that is caused by acidic foods. But it wasnt there anymore so he never actually saw it. It stayed away for about a month and a half. Now it's back again in the same place and it's painless. but annoying. I read somewhere that a man had a small white growth that spread and became cancer. Now I am freaking out.
Avatar n tn How quickly would a genital wart grow from the first sign of it appearing? I have read that they continue to grow and if a bump that suddenly appears stays the same size, it is probably not a wart. Thanks.
Avatar f tn Is this normal behavior for gt to only pop up in one area of the tongue? The left side is always affected never the right. Also he does have a few similar spot on the left front border and tip of his tongue that seem to also be chronic.. I have included a few pics. The ent and his dentit both feel like this is geographic tongue and nothing more.thanks. http://i1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc393/kkingery83/EEAE3A20-43BA-45D5-9038-7776155D3E15-1162-000001CEDA2D0312.jpg http://i1209.photobucket.
Avatar f tn Any advise if prostetectomy or radiation is the best way to go? Each treatment has side effects but we want to opt for best treatment. How fast does this cancer grow? Biopsy was done 2 weeks ago. When is the earliest to have treatment? Also what is report actually saying?
Avatar f tn Does a cancerous liver tumor grow slowly over time , or is it a fast growing tumor?
Avatar f tn Does anyone have osteoarthritis and bone spurs? How fast do bone spurs grow? Do they grow on the base of the thumb? I have a lump that is hard (and hurts if I press on it) and about the size of a small pea, that was not there in September. In under 2 months this lump grew, and I want to know if it could it be a bone spur, or a rheumatoid nodule. (I have "diffuse osteoarthritis" in my joints and spine) and I am only 58. Does osteoarthritis manifest like this?
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 m tn I still have to do 6 weeks of radiation and Chemo. How fast does this cancer grow. It’s been 44 days since my surgery and I’m starting treatment within 30 days of this message. Thank you for your help.
Avatar n tn I can also feel another pimple about 2 centi meter away from the original one that is growing fast too. My mom and dad had a history of cancer (lymphoma) and I am worried if this is some thing more than hemangioma. Can you please advise if I should be worried about cancer and how I should proceed for the treatment? can laser be effective? Thank you!
526227 tn?1212498350 could it be cancer for a fast growing flesh under the tongue?3cm long and 2cm wide taking time approximately 6 months.could it be a cancer?we went to an oral surgeon, and that flesh had been half removed.that procedures had been last week friday, may 30th.we'll have the result on tuesday, june 10th.my grandfather is 73 years old.after 2 days the procedures done he had swelling under his chin area and both cheek.please help us...
Avatar f tn t bother me though], a BIG one on each sides of my mouth, and two big ones in the middle [where my tongue is]). Since about last month, the ones in the middle connected together, and are now about 3x the size of what they were last year. My orthodontist and dentist both said it was the biggest they've seen yet. I'm only 17, so chances are they're going to grow for another while. The section where my tongue is, it's almost only bones. (I will try to post a picture later).
Avatar n tn You will need dental cleanings every 3 months if you are going to dip. Please google tongue cancer if you want to stop using tobacco, because tobacco against your oral membranes causes tongue cancer more than anything else. You could lose half your face - I kid you not.
Avatar f tn No, really the norm is 6 months, it should not grow too fast, and maybe not at all, but they must monitor it and if it does grow significantly in 6 months, then they will deal with it then.
Avatar m tn Hi, About 4-5 weeks ago I had tonsillitis and whilst looking in my mouth using a mirror I noticed a small white painless spot, about the size of a pencil tip at the very back /side of my tongue. It is very difficult to see unless I stick my tongue into my opposite cheek. I went to the dentist on Wednesday last week who said he didn't think it was anything to worry about but that if it was still there in 2-3 weeks he would refer me to the hospital.
Avatar n tn In a fast moving cancer, it does generate fast, 1 loose cell divides, then those 2 divide and so forth, my daughters scans were clear, then 1 month later there is more cancer, I would say if a person can handle the chemo to take it all the time untill the scans turn out clean for many years later.
464412 tn?1213225852 m no doctor so I have no idea how fast cancer cells or pre-cancer cells grow but seems like I should be checking it more often... what do you think? If cancer cells were starting to brew on one side what does that mean for the other side?
Avatar n tn it does not sound like cancer under your tongue but it is impossible to say without seeing you. Look, it is what it is whether someone gives you a label for it or not. White lesions can be one of a myriad of things from benign and common to more rare and serious. worrying gets you nowhere and can't be good for you physically or mentally. go get it checked out.
Avatar n tn Im just worried that it has already began to grow back. Can someone give me some info on this and how fast it can grow back.
