Hi,
I am very releaved to tell you the white areas on his tongue seem to be going away. All the white on the side is gone. All that remains is a little white border on top of his tongue with a red patch if inflammed taste buds. This makes me feel better because cancer wouldn't heal.

I did make and appointment with him to see his primary care doctor. I am starting to think these ulcers are actually geographical tongue. Yesterday after eating tomatoes again he said his tongue felt like it was breaking out. Then a few tiny red spots with white borders poped up on the other side of his tounge. I know cancer doesn't pop up all over the place so this reassures me this is somethig benign. I will keep you posted when he goes to the doctor tomorrow.

Thanks for all your info an kind words.

Kim
