Mine was white on the side of my tongue, when it got bigger it turned red and would bleed. When it first started it was the size of the end of my little finger then it grew. My tumor was there for a long time because of going back and forth to the Dentist who had no clue. I never thought it was cancer, never came to my mind, never heard of cancer of the tongue. On my own I rinsed my mouth out with Hydrogen Perioxide I almost went through the roof.
Seeing your ahead of the game and if your husbands sore doesn't go away get to an Oral Surgeon don't mess around with your Dentist.
As far as looking at photo's I couldn't tell you we're all different.
Take care,
Connie
