Hi such a beautiful day today, hope you are all enjoying the weather. I'm just wondering if anyone can enlighten me if they had this problem too or know anything about it. I have had white patch round my scar area last week . Very white when I wake up then fades a bit throughout the day. Over the past few weeks my mouth has been extremely dry, moreso than previous. I find myself using the sprays, gels , chewing gum a lot more. I don't know what my tongue is supposed to feel like anymore since I had my operation two years ago. The scar site feels lumpy, especially in the am . Could this be fibrosis. My tongue has never been the same same RT and the operation so I really don't know what's normal anymore. Just obviously worried incase it could be a recurrence. I have my two month apt next Wednesday. So any advice welcome xx
Hi Jg123, Radiotherapy the gift that just keeps giving. It does all kinds of things to us. Hopefully what you have described will clear up on its own. If you have a review coming up shortly get them to have a look then, if not give your team a call, hopefully they will be able to put your mind a rest.
Ray.
