Hello. I had stage 2 well differentiated tongue cancer. Had part of my tongue removed then had radiation for 6 weeks Monday through Friday on both sides of my mouth.
I'm 2 months out of radiation and 6 months from my operation. Everything was going great until yesterday I woke up and my tongue had a sharp pain on the opposite side of where my cancer was. It looks like a small cut but I'm scares death it has come back just as thing started to get better. I'm thinking maybe I hurt it while eating normal food.
Called my oncologist. She said to wait until Monday and if it wasn't getting better schedule an appointment. She said she think that since I've only been talking and eating normally for two weeks I probably just injured my tongue but I can't calm down.
What do you think?
