Hello all.

At three and a half years post treatment, my husband has been having leukoplakia on his dorsal tongue. Started about 6 months ago and went away, now has come back. His periodontist urged him to get in to see his ENT and he had that appointment today. The ENT is taking a "watch and wait" approach, but did mention that he sees it quite a bit of this in radiated patients.

I have heard post radiation candida mentioned quite a bit here, but not leukoplakia. Am wondering if there are others that have had this problem. Note, my husband never had leukoplakia before his diagnosis and treatment (not that he is aware of, at least).

Thanks for any feedback,
Anita
