No, the mass in the tummy itself wouldn't -- whatever is causing the mass could cause ulcers if again it's viral related, I think.. how about ultrasound - it's less invasive than biopsy and you can stay with him while they do and it only takes 15 mins or so and no anesthesia is necessary and it will tell a lot more about the mass -- is that what you meant, Kelley?

The X-ray is showing a suspicious mass in his tummy, but that would not cause issues with his mouth would it?
