Is it possible for mucositis to still be in your mouth three months after radiation? My tounge has always burned ever since radiation but now I have this sore spot on it where it keeps hitting one of my top teeth that has has a rough spot. It's the tip of my tounge and now it has stuff on it that looks like the sores I had in my mouth at the end of radiation. Before I called my oncologist I wanted to ask you all. Thanks

We will all miss her greatly.
