Hi Amy,

I've had both blood and water blisters appear on my tongue near the tumor site. This started a few months after my surgery with the water blisters. I had one drained, cauterized, and was biopsied (no cancer). After radiation, I continued to get blisters including blood blisters. I�ve had my surgeon, and oncologist involved and they even sent me to an infectious disease doctor. They did cultures and others tests (nothing showed up), and classified my problem as chronic ulcers (aphthous stomata). I completed radiation over 2 years ago and I�m still having healing issues with my mouth.

Considering the first sign of my cancer was a non-healing canker sore, anything abnormal that appears on my tongue causes me concern and a trip to the doctor to check it out.

You did the right thing to have it checked, and hopefully it will be nothing to worry about.
