Hi everyone,

My wife had a partial glossectomy 7 weeks ago, losing more than half her tongue. The donor site to replace the removed portion came from her forearm. She had her first radiation treatment 4 days ago. We noticed substantial swelling and lighter shading of only the "new" portion the following morning. The swelling has subsided somewhat with meds from our ENT, but be are concerned with proceeding with the radiation.
Can anyone provide an opinion on how we might proceed? Could the swelling subside or increase if we continue radiation? Any response would be appreciated.
