Hiya
So i am 6 months post treatment for T2N0M0 cancer on my tongue. Surgery done in May 2022, following completion of chemoradio in Aug 22. Had my 3 months all clear scan in Nov 22. Only a week after my 3rd consultant review, yesterday I noticed a small ulcer on the same side of my tongue where I was treated. Very freaked out if it is a recurrence this quick. Have an appointment on friday with consultant. Lets see what he says but very very freaked out and worried sick.
Ulcers are really really common after RT. I used to get a lot. Are you being a little too adventurous with your food? Try stopping the Duraphat for a few days and use an SLS free toothpaste like Oranurse. Chlorhexidine gel is good for ulcers like this.

Yes they can look alarmingly large. There’s a ring of them at the back of your tongue. Glad the news was good
