My wife was diagnosed with SCC left lateral tongue in Jan 05. This was followed with partial glossectomy and MRND and radiation and chemo which ended in July 05. Last CT in May 06 was clear. Last visits with dentist and RO in Aug 06 both clear.

For the last week she has been complaining of pain in the tongue and that the underside of the tongue at the original tumor location looked blistery and now there is a sore there.

We have appointments with the dentist and ENT this week and we are paraying for good news. It had taken over a year to get to the point where she was finally feeling better and now we are facing the possibility of a recurrence. We are very concerned.
