I've figured out that the 3 times the ulcers have returned have all been when I'm sick w a cold. Always on the palate. They go away within a week but hurt like the devil in the meantime. As u know. So odd. But I can't complain, bc they do go away. What I hate most tho is that my cancer started as a canker sore type lesion on my tongue. So every ulcer in my mind is potential cancer! Ug. But now I know they are normal, and as long as they go away I'm ok. Thx so much for the input and I hope you also get relief soon!
