Sore on tongue from treatments: What helps?
Head & Neck Cancer | Last Active: Nov 25, 2023 | Replies (36)Comment receiving replies
I had tongue cancer and went through 35 radiation treatments and 6 chemo treatments. I had to have a peg tube put in so that I could get some nutrition. It was the best thing I did otherwise I would have starved. I lost about 40 pounds but I am at a normal weight now. I recently had my peg tube removed and I weigh 110. I am able to eat normally but have to watch portion sizes otherwise I choke. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Hello,
My best friend has had the same treatment for his tongue cancer his treatment has been done for almost a year.
Did you have your sore on your front of tongue or back?!
He has new sores we are hoping it’s from eating or talking and not the cancer coming back. It’s been almost a yr as I stated he’s loss pieces of hair that snap off not from his scalp. I was thinking he has new growth and the hair coming out could be old hair making room for new hair?! Any advice would be great. I am very sorry you had to go through all the treatments very painful. Do you still get sores on your tongue?! Thank you
