Tongue Cancer

Yes it’s normal. Like I’ve said before five years later my cheek is still a tiny bit swollen and I sometimes bite it by accident. 

RT damage takes a long time to repair itself. You are likely looking at six months before you are comfortable with it. Please don’t worry. 

Like Dani has said - it is normal.  I am 6 months post treatment and the bit they hit hardest in my mouth is still tender although not nearly as swollen as a few weeks ago.  Each day it gets better, but it is a slow process.

Hi, I'm a week behind PFJTHS, and my tongue still gives me a bit of discomfort, and I get the odd twinge along my jaw/neck on the treatment side.. it might be an idea though to ask your team about any lymphoedema concerns you may have, as I have a very stubborn area on my throat, and do SLD every day to keep my lymphatic system moving..

Hi thank you for your advice.. I think mine is still to do with healing as I'm only 9 weeks post RT. I do do my lymphoedema exercises on my neck if I see any swelling. I have a very thin neck and it's noticeable on me well I noticed it but it actually gives me a wee bit of a fuller face. X
