Hi everyone,

I've recently begun having difficulties (or atleast noticing them) with a build-up of saliva in my mouth. It makes sense since the tumor is located on the bottom of my tounge. What doesn't seem to make sense is that it isn't that consistent. Has anyone had a similiar experience?

I also have noticed an odd taste developing at various times during the day. Again, is this something anyone has had any experience with?

Up until now they only symptoms I have had is the actual tumor itself. I guess I should expect other things to begin to happen, or for me to start noticing them. Any information you can give me would be appreciated.

Peace,

Fr. Mike
