He then noticed white sores that were getting bigger in his oral cavity near the tongue. He started feeling generally lousy and was unable to
eat due to severe pain, and lost 30 lbs in a month. AS went to the clinic, where they did a biopsy that revealed squamous cell cancer of the tongue. AS has undergone radiation therapy (RT) and surgery to remove the cancer and a restorative surgery was scheduled. Due to RT, AS has developed mucositis and xerostomia in his oral cavity.
