Joined: May 2025 Posts: 3 Likes: 2 | I had surgery back in June, 2025 to remove cancer on my tongue. In August, 2025 it was obvious that the swelling was not the cause of my tongue being too big. It feels like I have a marshmallow stuck in my mouth. I started radiation on August 25, 2025 and I have 6 treatments to go. My Dr has told me that he will not attempt to reduce the size of my tongue until 3 months after I finish radiation. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how was it resolved?

I am sorry to hear of this issue. I do recall it took months for the swelling of my tongue to come down to a manageable level. I remember asking my doctor at many visits - why is it still so swollen? I had to learn to be patient with this. It did eventually come down. Hope you find some relief soon.
Stay safe and keep the faith,
Nels
