Seven days ago! I was told no bread even though I eat tiny bites with liquid Did you have lots of swelling. If so is it better to eat hot or cold food. How long until pain in tongue resolves.

Oh yes, lots of swelling and difficulty eating for weeks. Soft foods such as custard, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, cream of wheat, Ensure drinks, milkshakes, whatever works. I sipped on 7-Up and coffee or tea so hot or cold didn’t seem to matter.
Pain on the tongue as I recall took more than a year to resolve. Neck pain didn’t phase out completely for about seven years. But I have had many great experiences in life since cancer so don’t get discouraged.
