And back to sleep

Nothing to see here, Dr Jan was not at all concerned, the bump is a tiny bit of root debris from the extraction, it will form a small lump and in time settle down.. no need for a biopsy or any intervention. All is well.

So, 15years later, I get another all clear and move on to the next stage of life, retirement and old age.. every day is a bonus.

I will still make a point of checking and double checking my various bits and bobs for lumps and bumps, and even if it does mean a wasted trip to the hospital sometimes, its always worth checking. Cancer often likes to have a 2nd attempt, so check yourself out.

I don't update this unless something happens, so, lets hope no more updates are needed again.

take care of yourself.

Thats a bit more worrying

After the tiny scare we have something a bit more substantial to  worry about. After another extraction of a rear molar, not due to radiation though, just wear and tear on an old unloved crown that didn't take... 

I have a lump.

A tangable very clear, slightly tender lump that may have been obscured for a while with the old tooth.. OR... there is an OR, may have come up as a result of the actual removal of the tooth, which is possible due to a bit of bone damage, but would normally settle after a week or 2... 4 weeks later, it still there still a very clear lump.

So back to see Dr Jan,  Thursday morning... get a biopsy and settle my fears.
