I have started chemo this last week after pulling teeth and a surgeon having to file down alot of the jaw bone which was diseased. My tongue has two tumors on it. It is kinda numb in spots and is painful. Sometimes it hurts to even swollow water. Has anyone else had this issue and when will it go away? Radiation will start in two weeks or so.


Stage 4A SSC Left Tonsil, back of tongue and Lymph nodes on left side. Tonsil removed, Chemo and Radiation treatments completed on June 26, 2008.
