I was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in my tongue in December after having a semi-glossectomy (one-third of left half) in November. I had completely recovered from the surgery and was back to normal before treatment began in February. Finished RT about 10 weeks ago. Having lots of trouble getting back to normal now. Taste buds have returned but seem to be super-sensitive. There's a sore from the RT on the tip of my tongue that won't seem to heal. Very little interest in eating when I used to have an almost never-ending appetite. Thankfully, I was very overweight because I've lost 65 lbs since October. What I'd like to know is if there is anyone out there with a similar situation, did you get back to normal and how long did it take you?
