Forgot how to post so thought I would log out and then log back in. What a technophobe I am! Hope you don't mind me asking this but the part of the tounge around the lesion feels numb (bit like anesthetic for biopsy). Has anyone else had this sort of sensation?
Ah. Mine was at the back which doesn’t have any sensory perception anyway. I’m sure somebody will have an answer

Sorry, I never had any sensation from my cancer aside for touching my neck and finding a lump. I think each of us is different which is why this forum is such a great asset as we find our way through the cancer maze.
