Thanks Cheryld. So, I was looking around the net. I know, never use google. What I did notice was there was something swolle under my tongue, plus on both sides of cheeks. I never knew the salivary glands are all there. I had one remved from surgery on one side of face, plus radiation probably ruined the others. Once I starteded eating, I think they got swollen. They are trying to work, but may be clogged. Anyways, I have doctor appnt tuesday. The nurse said it sounds like ruined salivary glands, dry mouth, and me eating and using the muscles again... thanks and I pray for all.


Tongue Cancer
1/2 tongue removed, replaced by flap from forearm. April 15, 2014
neck disection, 1 lympnode involved, doctors removed all to make sure cancer is gone.
30 rad treatments and 2 cisplatin chemo, doctor said I did not need the third
one. Finished up July 30,2014
Chemo treatment was my choice. The board felt surgery and radiation was plenty to take care of my cancer.
