Hello all. Brand new here. I had a tongue lesion removed back in August of this year and was diagnosed as Squamous Cell Carcinoma.Never thought I would ever be told I have cancer. In any case, 4 months later, I still have a very rough texture on the side of my tongue. Tumor was removed from the side and under my tongue. All of the taste buds on that one side feel very rough and feels so odd in my mouth. No pain or anything, just thought it would go back to feeling normal this long after surgery. Anyone else gone through this that can encourage me? Thanks so much.
