Hi All,

My father finished chemo/radiation for his stage III oral cancer in August of 2010. He still can't eat solid food, or even most liquids-- just pudding and tube-feeding liquid-- because his mouth and tongue burn upon contact with food. I think there's a lot of scar tissue in there.

I don't think he's getting much help from his physicians on how to be able to eat again. Has anyone had experience with a scarred tongue/mouth after chemo? How did you overcome it? How did you treat the inflammation? We're pretty desperate for help, so please respond if you have any thoughts.

Be well,
Molly
