I too had 1/3 of my tongue removed (12/19/19) and completed radiation and chemo treatment (3/12/20). Everything tasted salty to me by the time my treatment was over. Once my mouth sores healed it took a month or two for my taste buds to return. Everyone is different so your results could vary. Hang in there!


The number of people involved in my care (@ a CCC) is humbling. Doctors, nurses, therapists, support staff, & of course, family. With everyone fighting for me to beat cancer the least I can do is fight back and win!
