My husband had a ct scan last Wednesday showing small tumor in tongue, surgery on Thursday morning to remove tumor (25% of tongue removed). He had IV tonsil cancer in 2001 with six weeks rads. Has kept same doctor visiting every year.

This morning his tongue is very white. Is this something that should be tended to immediately or can we wait to call the doctor tomorrow (Monday)?

Thank you for your help!

Sheryl
