Hello All,

My husband is almost 9 months post treatment for Stage 4A Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the head and neck, specifically right base of tongue, right tonsil, and 4 lymph nodes.  He has had a clean PET and 2 clean CT scans and we're VERY thankful.  He was a part of a Study at Siteman Cancer Center in St. Louis, MO.

Our issue now is some knee nerve pain and it's like a shooting/temporarily debilitating pain.  Does anyone have experience with this?  He is also type 2 diabetic, but we're thinking this pain could be caused by the chemo drugs that were pumpped through his body for 4 months weekly

Thanks so much!

Margi and Dennis Greene
