Cancer Recurrence

After a checkup appointment

Who was the appointment with and what did they say? It’s strange you had no warning that they suspected something might be amiss 

I would assume you’d get an explanation and have a scan arranged? Have you had any new symptoms? 

Hi. 
Appointment with a consultant in Maxoillofacial Surgery Service. Arrived in the post last week. 
There's been no mention of a cancer recurrence possibility at my recent checkups until a month ago. 
Only issue is the ulcer on the side of my tongue that never really healed but seemed to be getting a lot better recently. 

So it was ENT who saw you last and has now referred you to Maxfac? If it’s a non healing ulcer then they are just being careful. I should imagine it will be biopsied. Fingers crossed all is well 

I’m still amazed that the letter has come out if the blue with no explanation at your last appointment. Why don’t you ring your CNS to find out what’s happening. 

The letter amazed me also!! 
Thanks for your help. 

Take care. 

I have had similar, but in a "planned" manner.  I think it's all about where they look and the demarkation between ENT's area of interest and Oral/Maxfax.  It was just my ENT been over cautious with me.
