Thank you everyone! It is a load...a very large load off of my mind.

Jerry--my RO mentioned possibly HBO treatments and my ENT said that if it shows no signs of healing that he would have to remove the bad tissue and restitch the area. I really don't want to loose any more of my tongue! My ENT said that this usually happens during rad tx's or shortly afterwards not 15 months down the road from your last tx. Go figure. I'm hoping it just heals on it's own.

I wonder if anyone here has had this problem? Scar tissue deterioration due to radiation.
