Hello Everyone,
I had surgery on my tongue back in 2006 for SCC. i still have alot of sensitivity right along the side of my tondue where the incision was made. I did have a broken tooth that was rubbing right against the scar tissue which caused irration. Did have the sharp broken piece on my tooth filed down and it did help. My ENT is keeping a close eye on it. Can anyone tell me is this normal to have this much sensitivity? I have looked at my tongue and do not see anything at all, just the scar tissue. Just worried that my cancer is back. Feeling great and so far have had great check ups. Due for my CatScan early next month with follow-up with ENT and Oncologist. just worried. Any input would be great.
