Only thing that bothers me is my tightness in neck and jaw. Sometimes i get sore from swallowing. I also have swollen salivary glands in cheeks and one under tongue. They dont hurt, just uncomfortable. Doctors say its from treatment.
Tongue Cancer 1/2 tongue removed, replaced by flap from forearm. April 15, 2014 neck disection, 1 lympnode involved, doctors removed all to make sure cancer is gone. 30 rad treatments and 2 cisplatin chemo, doctor said I did not need the third one. Finished up July 30,2014 Chemo treatment was my choice. The board felt surgery and radiation was plenty to take care of my cancer. |
