I have tongue cancer. After chemo it shrunk considerably. But I also had quite a bit of radiation that I wish I wouldn't have had. Part of tongue is gone. So now I have to do a lot of exercises and speech therapy to get tongue muscles moving again. And the extra saliva and mucus in my mouth is very embarrassing. What is the wand to help on EBay? I want to eat again normally. I never lost my sense of smell or taste. Chemo and ketruda destroying the cancer cells and has not spread anywhere else. Drs said the only way to tell if there is cancer there yet is to do biopsy. I am hoping for it to be gone. Please get some treatment for your tongue cancer. It can be gone with infusions. I am very thankful to my oncologist who came up with my treatment plan and it has worked. So please check around for help. I am sure your family would want you to fight this. I go to Rochester Mayo in Minnesota. They have been a tremendous help. God Bless you and all of us cancer people who keep fighting the fight!
Thank you, I’m praying about it
