Is a sore tongue after R-CHOP something that continues?
A sore tongue isn't typically listed among the common side effects that continue after R-CHOP treatment ends. The most common side effects during R-CHOP include digestive issues, numbness or tingling in limbs, and changes in blood cell counts.
However, mouth-related issues can sometimes occur during treatment. Since you're 8 weeks post-treatment and in remission, this symptom warrants attention from your healthcare team.
What you should do:
Contact your doctor or oncology team to report this symptom. They can:
* Rule out infection (since R-CHOP can affect immune function)
* Check if this is a late-emerging side effect
* Determine if it's related to something else entirely
* Provide appropriate treatment or relief
Don't wait to see if it goes away on its own. While it may not be directly related to your lymphoma treatment, any new or concerning symptoms after treatment should be evaluated, especially while your body is still recovering.
