At about 29 months post treatment , my husband has some weird stuff happening in his mouth. Wanted to see if anyone else had had anything similar. I posted a while ago about "worrisome doctor visit" at which both periodontist and ENT thought he could have leukoplakia developing. But they decided to "watch and wait". Well, now he has his entire mouth irritated to the point that he is having about as much trouble eating as immediately following radiation. "Bumps" all over his tongue, in the area of the white spot. We are thinking this has to be some kind of fungal infection. Bad as it is, I'm feeling oddly good about it - doesn't really seem like a recurrence or second primary to me. Any thoughts?

Thanks so much for any feedback,
Anita
