Hi Randy,

Have it checked out if it doesnt improve in two weeks. However i developed an ulcer on the opposite side of my cancer too and that did not improve for 6 weeks!!! Even now, new sores keeps popping up if i eat something that my mouth doesnt agree with. I finished my treatment ob 6th Sept and i think we are pretty much in similar positions right now. I went back to work in Oct too and do need to slow down - which i'm trying hard to do but old habits die hard. My main problem has been getting off the pain meds which i have done now but it has completely stuffed up my sleeping patterns so i'm in dire need of sleep. Other than that i feel pretty good! Unforturnately for me, my 3 month CT scan showed some lesions on my tonsils so i need to have PET end Jan. My RO said its prob just still healing from radiation so i'm not going to let it ruin my christmas!

We all become a bit of a hypochondriac i think, but then its prob best - at least we are on top of every little signs of cancer and will pick them up sooner rather than later! I guess we will relax more as time goes by.

So all in all, i wouldnt worry too much about the sore but do get it checked by your doc if it doesnt improve in two weeks so they can keep an eye on it. Best wishes for even more improvements!!
