I am nearly at my one year remission point following a partial glossectomy and selective neck dissection on June 16th last year. I wanted to know if it's normal or common to be experiencing pain and discomfort in my tongue, face and neck still following the surgery. My tongue is particularly painful still. I have had to leave my teaching career for the time being as it's too painful and difficult to talk all day. I would really like to be able to chat to people who have been through the same thing. I feel quite isolated at times because of what has happened.
