Still getting mouth issues

Hi,

Back in January my treatment started with 1 round of Chemo and 30 rounds of Radiotherapy for left tonsil cancer worth 2 lymph nodes infected.

I am now 17 weeks post treatment but still have side effects especially dry mouth. I have a small ulcer on the left back of my tongue and my mouth on the left side is still sensitive. Has everyone else at 17 weeks post treatment had ulcers and a sore mouth?

  • Hi markrut,

    Welcome to Cancer Chat and I hope you're getting on OK with your recovery.

    I would suggest discussing this with your doctor when you can if it's causing issues. If you'd like to talk things through with one of our nurses, you can reach them on 0808 800 4040 - Monday-Friday, 9-5.

    My reply here will also boost your post so a few more people should see it, and if anyone here has similar experience to share then hopefully they'll be along soon.

    Wishing you all the best,
