I’ve had my radiation in June. I saw my Oncologist Two weeks ago, she said I am doing good. I have a lot of swelling in my tongue and in my mouth it is driving me crazy is there anyone can think something to do 

  • Hmm. Nine months on seems to be a long time to still be having acute effects. Did you have just radiotherapy or surgery as well?

  • Yes, I’ve had surgery  And both of my doctors Give it to about June or July I should see an improvement

  • Ah. Was the surgery on your tongue and did you have any reconstruction? 
    It might be useful to put all that in your profile. 

    Hopefully somebody in a similar position will be along soon with some advice. 
    Meanwhile have a look at Young Tongues. They have an active face book group where you might find some help too.
