    Hi friends;

    I have had a white spot on the back of my throat for a month now. It hasn't gotten smaller and is maybe a little bit bigger. I have had mouth sores from my treatments, those generally came and went in a couple of days. This isn't very painful like the other sores and really weird that it has lasted so long. Went onco today, they are sending me to ENT next week for check/possible biopsy. Anyone experienced this. It is about 2-3MM across, a little bigger than my other sores have been. White with some redness around it. Also dealing with continous belly issues despite the prednisone so am going in for a colonoscopy….it will be a fun week next week!

    Thanks everybody,

    Ted

      just a thought… could it be a tonsilith/tonsil stone? i got a white spot at back righ hand side of my throat some years ago and thats what it was. if its roughly where your tonsils are, thats a possibility.
