Joined: Mar 2014 Posts: 25 Likes: 1 | My husband has completed 13/33 IMRT sessions so far and he had trouble across the night last night with a swollen tongue and feels like his throat is "tightening up." Have others had this? We have a call into his physician (actually the person who is covering for him since it's Sat.). He feels like he's gagging. Has anyone had any success in addressing a swollen tongue? Thank you!!
