Im sorry to keep posting on which probably is trivial stuff but I'm worried and I need some advice off you wonderful ppl. I've posted a couple of times but a quick run down is....
Stage 1 tonsil cancer, 7 weeks daily rads now 3.5 months post Treatment recent scan shows small uptake in tonsil fossae max uptake 3.5 baseline 8.9
I recently have had a couple of post treatment symptoms like sore ears etc but my radio onc said it is verrrrry unlikely to be cancer related and that it is still probably healing etc.
My new question is, I sometimes get a small taste of blood in my mouth, first noticed two weeks prior to my last pet scan and put it down to healing etc. I've had a good look in my mouth today and if I stick out my tongue all the way and on the side that has been rad I can see a small ulcer and it now feels kind of rough on that side when I swallow. What does your tongue normally look like all the way back there? Given that the taste of blood etc was a couple of weeks before my pet could I safely assume this is also a healing issue? X
