Hi Alpaca,
This is Loli; I know I have not communicated in a long time. I do not remember if I shared in here, that my sister, who had tongue cancer 18 years ago, came back with jaw cancer and six months later, it had jumped to her cheekbone and the tumor was inoperable. For this reason, she had chemo and radiation. She finished her treatment 16 months ago at the Mayo clinic in Scottsdale. She checks at Mayo every three months. The problem is, that her tongue has not healed completely. She still has a burning feeling that prevents her from eating. She has tried hemp and cbd oils and all types of pain medications with no avail. If she wants to eat, she has to use solicaine (I know I am misspelling it) directly on her tongue, but the discomfort is continuos.
If you or anybody in the chat has had this problem and has found confort, please share it . She is desperate.
Greetings, and I pray everyone is doing well.

Hi @loli I was wondering how your sister is doing? Such a tough row to hoe for her.
