Hello,
I'm here on behalf of my mother who was diagnosed with tongue cancer in March 2008. She had the tumor removed 6 weeks ago and a right neck dissection, 54 lymph nodes removed, all clear.
She was doing very well in her recovery until a week ago, since then she has had constant nausea and dry heaving. Its unlikely to be a virus or bacterial infection because she has no symptoms when she is lying down and can sleep ok.
I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience? Could it be a balance thing, or inner ear? She had a lot removed from her right shoulder and therefore that side is quite low down.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

i was operated for tongue cancer in nov 2007 and radiation got over in Feb 2008. since then i am having dryness in mouth and sometimes i feel stiffness near the operated area. if anyone has faced a similar condition, please let me know for approx. what duration this condition will remain?

thanks
Samta

Una,

I didn't have a ND or tongue surgery but I would tell her to see a doctor as her symptoms could be a result of many different conditions.
