The rear part tongue is so swollen back there that I’m have trouble swallowing small pills. There is also painful rubbing going on. My doc is prescribing me liquid steroids. It’s so swollen that I worry about my airway and think I’m headed for PEG. I have been able to eat shakes using magic mouthwash bit worry that won’t last if it swells further
Stage 3 cancer of right side of tongue Tumor: t2. Lymph nose spread Partial glossectomy and neck dissection (2/12/20) Never smoker Completed six weeks of radiation on 5/6/20
