My daughter had surgery in December 08, and during the course of this surgery a nerve was 'knicked' resulting in losing the feeling in her tongue. Her cancer was underneath at the base of her tongue. As well as having a large area lasered, she also had a piece taken off her tongue.
She is forever biting it and also burning it. She's now having decreased mobility, trouble with her speech, and feels a thickening at the front where the surgery was, but this is apparently down to scar tissue and the feeling slowly returning.
I wondered how long it has taken for others to regain the feeling in their tongue.
Thanks
Jude
