First Symptoms - It's Sunday after 10th treatment. I wake up this morning and left outer edge of tongue feels sore, a little maybe like a hot coffee burn.

No, I didn't burn it with coffee. It hurts a little to talk, but not bad. I can still eat.

Tomorrow I will ask RT/RO if I can start using two dental rolls on left side (the tumor side) in case it's caused by radiation splash from my metal fillings.

Just documenting symptoms for timeline purposes.
