thanks brian. I just talked to my father about the candida infection. i was really afraid to talk to him about trying to scrape that off and see whether it comes off. I really dont want him to get upset if it does not come off. He was already telling that if its a second bout of cancer he isnt going to take treatment.
I really dont know what to do!! He was telling that the oncologist was poking at the white patches and then he commented that it can be a fungal infection or it can be the cancer returning. I dont have the courage to ask if anything did get on the instrument with which he was examing the white patch.
