Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 3 | I have thrush from time to time and after radiation the back of my throat is white is some spots and pink in others and many visible capalaries close to the surface. ENT says all very typical of post radiation look. Dentist who is a cancer specialist says same thing. All normal looks. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 3 Member | | Member

Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 148 Likes: 1 | I have a (permanent) white patch on the right side of my tongue. Same side of my tongue that had the tumor & received the most radiation. Seen by all 3 of my team dr. My radiation dr. took a swab, it came back -clear. So now she calls it an "ulcer". It only bothers me if I have had to much of acid type foods. When it hurts me, I apply a perscription my dr. made for me: Lidocaine 2% Visc Solution. It is soothing. I use as needed during the day & at bedtime. I check my tongue patch weekly, it does not seem to get any bigger or smaller. Just another war wound!
BOT T3N2M0 No surgery, 38radiation treatments,4 chemo rounds, peg removed 11/08, still have a port. Treatments ended 6/20/08. So far, so Good ! "I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much !"
