Hi, fist of all sorry for my bad english I am french.

My problem is that I've had those white little blisters on my pallete(?). I cannot say if they are really blisters or more like little bumps ( really small).

I did not care about them at first but just about now I was eating a couple of egg rolls and a new one suddently appeared. I can feel it with my tongue and it's really annoying. It does not hurt though. It is not really big either ( like .2-.5 centimeter).

I think the fist one appread like one month ago and I have an appointement with my dentist in a week. Should I try to see her sooner or just wait the week?

And if it was really month cancer would it already be too late? Assuming that it started one month ago?

Welcome Bh12, to our site. You shouldn't have appologized for you english, you did very well. As for the white lumps or bumps on your pallet. If you have a appt. already keep it. The sooner the better as for any illness or disease. If you are going to fret and worry if you can get in sooner then do,if this will calm your nerves, if not just wait until your appt. The main thing is that YOU are going to the app, I will tell you this my cancer was a white bump or lump which ever you want to call it but it was sore and painful. However like doc. said it didn't come and go, it was there and it was painful. Please keep us posted Vicki

Hi Bh12

A mouth cancer doesn't usually present as painless little bumps/blisters in the palate that come (and go?) over a month. So, I hope that helps, but you must keep your appointment with your dentist and get a diagnosis. Do let us know how you get on.

Best wishes

Ok cool thanks. I guess I'll ask my dentist next week. I wasn't going to cancel the appointement anyway.

As for the blisters, they've never gone. They've appeared once and have always stayed there. They are not painful in anyway though...

I'll let you guys know.
