Tongue cancer

  Could it be irritation or something else.

Dry mouth causes lots of problems like this. Even early on in recovery the three week rule is a good one. If it’s still there three weeks after you spot it then have it looked at. 
It’s really hard early on but does get easier. 

Thank you Dani I am just stressing incase the cancer has spread to my cheek . The things that go through your head are so worrying. I didn't bite my cheek or anything so it just appeared out of the blue yesterday. Thank you xx

That is so unlikely really. Hugs 

Hi I can still get ulcers on my cheeks even 6 years later. Like Dani says the 3 week rule is a good one. None if mine ever lasted more than 10-12 days. I used to use the gelclair that I had in treatment.  Now I can use bonjela  think it would be too strong for you. I also have aloclair in my emergency pack most chemist sell that or Amazon.
For me food used to set them Off simple things like cheese yoghurt couldn’t go near vinegar tomatoes anything minty the list was long.  Plus of course dry mouth is also a major issue.
Try not to worry but yes contact your cns on Monday to ease your mind. They may want a photograph sending if you’re not due to see them.

PS

I found a really good treatment for the odd sore patch is corsodyl gel. It works wonders for me 

Thank you Hazel, I know I'm probably overthinking it . Just so early in my recovery and it worries me. I will phone my nurse on Monday. My max fax consultant is so good he will bring me in to look at it. That will reassure me. I just had my monthly apt on Wednesday past. Feel stupid annoying them soooo soon. Thank you hazel for your help xxxx

Thank you Dani will give it a try xxx

It will get easier. I was lucky I never stressed but we are all different. 

Let us know how you get on

Will do Hazel. Thank you xx
