I noticed some swelling underneath my tongue . My radiation Under two years. I am wondering, is this normal and is is this a side effect of the radiation?
Hi. It’s not a late effect that I know. It could be many things but ask for a review. Ring your CNS?

Hi like Dani says I’ve not come across thus always better to check with your cns or consultants medical secretary to get an appointment. I’m 8!years now and was told at my 5 year review always to contact them. Fingers x it’s nothing to worry about.
