Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 21 | I was just wondering if it was possible to get cancer in the free flap section of my tongue. There is a white spot that has appeared. It has been there for a few days and is kind of sore if I run my finger over it. I think it is probably my paranoia setting in but thought I would ask.
Tongue cancer diagnosed 12/01. Tumor removed. No chemo, no radiation. Early stage 3 SCC of the tongue recurrance 12/06, well differentiated. Hemiglossectomy, free flap, neck dissection 3/26/07. IMRT Tx finished 8-7-07(30 Tx's). No chemo.

I always thought the answer was no. There was a very recent post from someone who asked their doctor. The answer was yes it is possible. It could be any number of things. If the sore has been there over 2 weeks it should always get looked at. For your piece of mind, call the doc and get it checked out.
