Thank you for the information. I had partical tongue glasectiomy under right side of the front of my tongue for stage 1 superficial cancer. The dysplasia
was not removed from the rest of the under right side of tongue, now I have SEVERE dysplasia from the front of tongue to back and this
is very painful and causes nausia and is serious. I now feel sick all the time. Thank you for any information that you can give in specialist. After
about 13 trips to John Hopkins and this was not taken care of with the first major surgery, then my surgeon moved to Boston.
Thank you again for caring to send me info.

Elizabeth, I have been thinking about this. I often refer to the Oral Cancer Foundation website where they have some information on this topic. They mention "chemoprevention" which seems to involve taking antioxidants. "If the size of the lesion, its location, or the medical status of the patient would make surgical removal difficult, use of antioxidant supplements should be considered as “chemoprevention” to try to prevent
progression to carcinoma. Beta-carotene and the retinoids are the most commonly used antioxidant supplements for chemoprevention of oral cancer. (25) However, although antioxidant supplements have shown promise, they have an uncertain success rate and no long-term results." This was a page about dysplasia and leukoplakia. Has you doctor recommended this sort of treatment? Wishing you well.

I have gotten myself so stressed out about my condition. For about 6-8 month I have had a rough white tongue and small (they feel like my tongue itself) tenticles when I scrap my tongue with my teeth. come off. I have been to an ent and he did a swab two in fact put that awful tube down both my nostrils and found nothing. Everyone including my family doctor thinks its coming from the stress in my stomach. You see our house burned to the ground a couple of years back and it was such a shock I can't seem to get over it. It was at this time (about a month later) that I started with this tongue problem. I don't know what to do.Even went to my dentist and he said just get a tongue scrubber and scrub your tongue as many times during the day but it hasn't fixed the problem.
Is there any advise you can give me? Waiting on your reply and thanking you in advance
God Bless you

I had the same white tenticle on my tongue a few months ago. I am "always" stress out about many things in my life. I went to a oral surgeon and he revoked it it, and sent to the lab. It came back negative , no problem. I fear it was mostly due to my "high" stress levels. Since then, I tried hard to do other things to let go, of my undue stress, and try keep my fears, under control. Good luck, hope this helps you. Your mind-set, can really cause many health problems.

Hi @elizabethbryant, could you explain exactly what you mean by severe dysplasia? Thanks
