Hi All, first time on this forum. I'm from down south in Australia and recently had surgery to remove a cancer on the floor of my mouth and a section of the side of my tongue as it was pre-cancerous. They took the graft & artery from my forum to replace the lost tissue. I started noticing a slimy feeling on the back of my tongue in the area of the graft and when i asked the surgeon he really didnt say much. Upon close inspection i can see a lot of fine hairs on the graft on my tongue and its these that are creating the "slime". Has anyone experienced the same post surgery and what did you do to get rid of it? I'm contemplation laser surgery to get rid of it. I will not be having chemo or radio therapy at this stage, they believe they got everything. Lucky as hell in one way, but radiotherapy kills off all the hairs on the tongue i have been told. Help please, im constantly sucking at this area and brushing it and using tongue scrapers etc etc. Nothing works.
