Seven years ago I had a stage 1 removed from the left side of my tongue. I had radiation and it was miserable but I got through it, lost all of my saliva glands and some taste ( the taste came back somewhat) Now I am sure it is back, almost in the same spot. Have a Dr. appointment in two weeks to see what is up, I thought that my Dr. told me once you have the radiation and it comes back there is no more radiation that can be had. Does anyone know about this?
