ok, cleaned my teeth as usual, extended slightly behind the back teeth as usual, but this morning I'm spitting out blood.. 1st time this has happened.. looking in the mirror I can see a red patch on my palate.. anyone else experienced anything odd like this?
I was at the dentist some months after treatment end. My dentist was always fascinated by the appearance of my throat. I don’t think he had ever seen a throat cancer before. He had a good poke about and it bled when I got home.
You know the answer though. If it’s worrying you message your CNS and bring your next review forward.

Hi as Dani says contact your cns. On my last appointment both my cns and ent consultants said don’t hesitate to contact them at any time down the line. Don’t go via gp just ring or email , around year 3 of recovery my dentist saw something she wasn’t happy about on my lower gum I knew I had tried a ryvita night before and it was too hard. But rightly so she took a photo sent it off I got appointment within a week and all was ok it was food trauma but they reiterated would sooner see us early than too late.
