I spoke with my surgeon before, he said my symptoms are normal, everything can take up to two weeks to heal.
He said to use a salt rinse for the mucous. So I'll stick with the formula we use here, it works well.
But, the other reason he called, my lingual tonsil was negative for cancer.
So my next medical visit will be back with the Radiation Oncologist. I will probably have 33 weeks of rads with chemo, once this surgery heals. I'm guessing April 16th.
