A little testimony here: I had a dentist appointment where a new dental technician could not figure out how to make the xray work. So she zapped me 5 times in the same spot. At that point, I said enough! Get somebody else in here! So I probably got zapped a 6th, and final time by somebody else. Anyway, an almond-sized bump appeared under the skin, a short time later, in that same spot. Early stage1 adenocarcinoma of the parotid gland. It was a delicate surgery at Dana Farber in Boston to 100% remove all cancer. No further treatment. I DO NOT allow any more dental xrays. That was maybe 6 years ago. Pay attention to bumps under the skin!

Oh wow. I am glad you are doing well. That must have been a traumatic incident.
