Can tongue cancer come back
My tongue cancer was cured 2 years back but I’ve been experiencing some oddities in my tongue and mouth. I am just afraid if my cancer is back. Can a doctor, preferably an oncologist, please tell me if tongue cancer can come back? Detailed responses would be much appreciated. Kindly respond soon!
