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.
