Did Brian have any surgery? I assume none?
When did his rad Tx end? I assume 8 months or so ago?
If that is the case I can't see why his tongue or any parts of his radiation fiel would still "light up".
Where is the scar tissue coming from and why would his docs say he may never eat again?
Update your signature line and answer these Q's and we may be more helpful.
