Hi, I’m really scared because my parotid gland in my left cheek is very enlarged. I can see it when I suck in my cheeks. Its not painful or anything which makes me think it’s not an infection. Im so scared it’s a tumor because Ive had a sinus CT scan done a few years ago and I know that the radiation exposure can cause cancer. I’ve always had issues where my jaw locks up and is hard to open but I always assumed this was just TMJ. Now I’m worried it’s a sign of cancer. Does anybody have any experience with this??
