I just got the results from my 1st post treatment CT scan. Tongue cancer is completely gone, but there is either scaring or a node on 1 lymph node. Have a appt with ENT gut Wed. has anyone else had scaring from RT? I also have sore on tongue that burns, is this noraml. Do the saliva glands ever come back? I am up constantly during the night having to drink. I had cisplatim and my blood pressure is very low, has anyone had this side effect. Thanks in advance.
