Dear All,
I too have had a recent recurrence and am in the emotional fallout of it's aftermath. I want to share soemthing: As far as the ulcers; after the first bout of tongue cancer in 2000 when the lesion was way bigger than this second time around, I came down with mouth ulcers almost every month for a year. They were awful! Painful and worrisome. The thing is this. For me, I am vigilant now. Anything that does not start to improve in 5 or 6 days I take to the oral surgeon. I had a clean bill of health from him and my cancer Dr. in May. In July I was operated on. Things can come on quickly with tongue cancer. I am proof of that. The key is vigilance and I check my tongue once a week and was told to be professionally checked every 8 weeks for the rest of my life.
Good Luck!
Gerry
