HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, in chemotherapy such side effects are very common and this is not just in the tongue areas but this could exert some side effects in other part of body, but this is nothing to worry because condition may be reversible if this is just because of the radiation, hope this information helps, take care.
