Hello, new to this site, I have been reading posts on this site for over a year, but since I had stage 1 tongue cancer, no lymph nodes involved and no post surgery treatment did not register. I had lesion removed by oral surgeon w/o clear margins, then had partial glossectomy w/neck disection, that was Nov. 2011, the side of my tongue where surgery was done is now very white and I'm thinking scar tissue, Feb. went to ENT who did surgery he thinks same, but I'm concerned. I see from the other posts most of you have had radiation but I was hoping someone could maybe tell me if they had same experience? I have set up an appt. with the Oral Surgeon who took lesion off orginally for a second opinion.
