Question numbness in the tongue?

Hi everybody!
Has anyone have had any experience numbness in the tongue? I've been having numbness ( from tingling sensation to numbness) for the past week now. I'm on weekly Herceptin plus Navelbine since October.

Hugs,
Gemma

When I touch it I dont have a lot of feeling and it hurts as if I burnt it on a hot cup of coffee.

I haven't heard of this before. I would call your oncologist and discuss it with him/her.
