Joined: Nov 2002 Posts: 3,552 | I have a whitish patch and a spot that looks like a divot (you golfers will know that that is) on my tongue. My dentist was also being overly cautious (after all they didn't know what that 6x3 cm tumor was poking up off my tonsil intially so now they're erring to the conservative) which is ok by me. I asked my head&neck guy about it and he simply said it was damage from the radiation and nothing to worry about.
We LIKE good news!
