Over the last few days, he's experienced a slight bit of bleeding periodically on a spot at the left side of his tongue and on the tip (his BOT was on the left side). It's very minimal and sporadic, however, as usual I'm freaking out. He doesn't seem to have bitten his tongue or done anything different or unusual. I've called his ENT surgeon's office and his secretary said "better to be on the safe side" and has managed to fit him in for a quick check on Monday. Neither of us can take any more worrying or stress, but there it is.. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Many thanks, Anne
