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.
