Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 15 | I found another lesion in my mouth. this one is getting bigger daily. I have had two spots since the reconstruction and free flap in April but they were granulation tissue.(Over healing or proud flesh) This one is sort of soft and not white so maybe its not cancer. I am getting worried and will call my doctor tomorrow. I have a bad feeling this time because I get exhausted very easily and thats what happened before. I dont know what I expect yall to do, I am just afraid. | | |

Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 325 | Take a deep breath, see your Doc, keep us posted! Right now everything looks like cancer, but it may not be! I hope it is, as Marcie said, just a little thrush. That's what it sounds like, but see the Doc to make sure. Good luck,

Joined: Aug 2006 Posts: 15 | Thank you. I will let you know, I am going to try and schedule an appointment for Friday because I have to drive 2 hours to the doc and cant get off before then. I had thrush last month and was on anti biotics. The two that were benign were on my cheek, this one is sort of connected to my tongue from my cheek. It has a black spot on it. It is not hard though like the cancer was. Thank all of you for your support and prayers. | | |
