@bonnie2172 Hello. I am sad you lost part of your tongue on top of everything else. Almost everyone
lost their taste for several weeks to several months after radiation treatment. For me, salt was the first to return.
This all takes a few months rather than days or weeks. Think of your progress in either a week by week or perhaps a month by month basis. Am I better this month than last month? And even with that, you will have back steps on occasion.
We are so used to healing from injuries or surgeries rather quickly. Healing from cancer, primarily the radiation and Chemotherapy if included, is a very slow process.
I wish you courage and better weeks ahead.
