My tongue looks almost perfect though its still a bit chubby at times do to lymphedema. They did my surgery a year ago February! Who is your rads dr? Mine is dr. Cho. Hes also very talented - but not terribly personable! Not that I care... As long as he did his job well. Radiation will effect your tongue for a while. It keep doing your exercises and it will heal. miss Kate is truly an inspiration. You'll get through this.
