My wife has recently been diagnosed with tongue cancer with involved lymph nodes (33 years old non-smoker ect...not pre-disposed ,cancer does not play favourites). She has had surgery: hemi-glossectomy (free-flap reconstruction) and bilateral neck disection. She has just finshed 6 weeks of radiation to the oral cavity and neck. She is recovering nicley but after radiation treatments her tongue has become very swollen. Has anyone out there with similar treatments experienced this side effect and if so do you have an indication what causes and its duration.Johnny johnny438 Tue, 16 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT
