in Head and Neck Cancer #1
The nurse called me today and told me that a bone was eroding by my ear from the radiation i had. She also said i had a cyst formation above my jaw. Its suposed to not be cancerous. I have more pain now than when i had cancer. Anybody have these side effects from radiation or chemo? If so what was done about it. Thanks David

    Dang
    Great bedside manner... I'd presume any MD worth his weight in Gold (or Salt), would have called you in for a consult and go over the results and options or a game plan...

    Sorry for that delivery....

    I'd try to setup a consultation and have him communicate with you more...

    Hoping someone can chime in and get you some valuable information.

    Best,
    John

    They called me
    I had my ct Tuesday and they called Thursday. My cell phone was off Thursday and Friday because i was throwing up from dehydration. Saturday when i turned on the cell phone on i had a message to call my doctors nurse. So i called today and my doctors on vacation this week. I have an appointment on June 8th with him. I dont blame my doctor for this i should have had the phone on.

    Ohhhh
    OK, I take it back then...LOL, kinda.

    Stinks having to wait, but at least you realize they tried to communicate with you.

    BTW, stay up on that hydration...easy to fall into that trap of not feeling well, just wanting to sleep and not drinking in fluids. The worse you feel, the more you wanna just sleep, the more you sleep, the worse you feel...on and on...., next thing you know, your down and out, layin in the hospital bed.

    Speaking of pain from treatment...that's the only pain I had..I never had any reaction from the cancer...which is good I presume.

    Hoping for news that isn't as bad as your mind will probably take you this week-end.

    Best,
    John
