I've even heard of a 12 year old girl who had it. As for the doctor who told you not to worry, they should have their license revoked. No doctor should ever disregard something as serious as cancer. I've spent the last 10 years telling everyone I know the name of the doctor who misdiagnosed my friend. We miss her everyday.
Avatar f tn So they staged me at Stage One Breast Cancer. I did not have the invasive lobular cancer. They were only leisions. How could a mistake like this be made? I Anyway, now I'm wondering if I needed to have the mastecomy, or would a lympectomy have been more appropriate.
Avatar f tn I return in a week for further follow-up and it sounds like they may be removing these nodules. I do worry about the risk of cancer, but know that even with cancer most thyroid problems can be resolved with good outcomes. It also was gratifying to not be treated like I was a neurotic patient and told once again that all of my problems were from anxiety. I appreciate this website immensely and it is great to s/w someone who has been there.

Avatar f tn I had a biopsy on it and it came back benign, but the doctor did a shave biopsy and the internet states that a shave biopsy can lead to misdiagnosis of skin cancer...great now I think I have skin cancer. The lesion was deep and the derm. had a hard time getting to it. Do i need a second opinion? i want to get out of this routine...testing and retesting. I don't want to go to the dr. I need to accept the results.....
Avatar n tn I had a COMPLETE hystroectomy 54 years ago, and now have what the doctor is telling me is an ovarian cyst that is probably cancer. Everything was removed 54 years ago; uterus, cervix, ovaries, appendix, and anything else that was in the way. Now, this doctor is telling me that the ovary may have grown back ?????is this possible ? I will demand further tests before I will let anyone do surgery for cancer/chemo therapy. I feel this is a misdiagnosis. what are your thoughts on this.
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 after 3months i had an ulcers all over inside my mouth mainly on top and under my tongue it was really painful. the doctor told me it was herpes and gave me accyclovir and it help healed my ulcers. 6months after i had another episode this time only on and under my tongue and milder that the primary outbreak. is there any possibility that someday i will have outbreak on my genital? because i acquired the decease while giving oral sex. is kissing can also spread the decease?
Avatar f tn Would a person with cancer consider themselves dirty for having it and clean if they did not? If a man will not accept you for having something as hsv2 you're better off not having them. Hsv2, though a pain, is not life threatening and really common. Most people do not realize this. Chances are they could have it too and not know.
Avatar f tn A year later, at her annual follow up appointment, it was discovered that she had cancer in the remaining kidney as well. She was also diagnosed as having pancreatic cancer at that point (a misdiagnosis) - and no chemo was given. I was living abroad at the time and don't know all of the details of this....Clearly, the doctors felt that her cancer was metastatic - in the end, I"m not sure where it ended up going.
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 should of done an excisional biopsy rather than a shave biopsy (which is what he did). The internet states that a shave biopsy can lead to misdiagnosis of skin cancer, but in most cases the shave biopsy detects melanoma. I have been doing so well accepting the results. Please can someone give me some words of support so that I can continue my day...I am trying to think positively.
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?
