Again, I just discovered this site yesterday and am not familiar with a lot of the details as some of the vets here might be. I don't guess it's necessary to give all details with every posting but I am a base of tongue, stage 3, SCC, and am just over 4 weeks out of treatment. 33 radiation, 1 Cisplatin, and 3 Carboplatin(sp?) along with 3 Toxol. I seem to be recovering as well as can be expected with no complications at this point but am curious about one thing. I am still having discomfort with one particular spot on the right, underside of my tongue. There are time of a strong stinging or burning sensation and it is also to where it rubs against the chewing surface of my lower right side teeth which causes more discomfort when talking. Is there anything that can be done to speed along the healing of this problem or does it just take more time to clear up on it's own? I can eat by mouth pretty good now but I have to try and keep food to the left side of my mouth while chewing to avoid this spot as it will really burn and sting.

Thanks,
Bill
