Ear pain

mkbrad & ear pain
My husband had ear pain prior to his diagnosis and for awhile during his treatment. Now - no more ear pain. It is one of the major symptoms of this type of cancer.

The doctors said it will go
The doctors said it will go away, but for now it seems to get worse. I will take the pain meds when the time comes that I will need them, I hate that they knock me out when I take them. I don't want to sleep the whole next two to three months. Sorry just a little wineing.

whining
Brad,

Funny you should mention whining. We all had a long thread about that not too long ago. Sorry, I can't remember which one, but I have several different meds available to me. When you meet with
your doctors tomorrow, ask them for something less strong or that won't put you to sleep. Are you
working? I have not worked since late Jan. Just too many doctor visits to fulfill my job duties. If you do not have a full work schedule, that should help with the decision. Just trying to help Brad.

I have meds from Morphine down and I take what I need. And hey man, never,never think you are whining, we all need to vent, whine, cry or whatever to get through this.

Hang in there,
Proud Sniveler

Fatigue
Hey Brad,

I hear ya about work. By the end of the week I am so fatigued sometimes I get home and can't do anything but sleep. This stuff really takes it out of you. But believe me it is doable and We will get through it. Good luck at the docs and really pound em with questions. Get the answers you need and be satisfied. I was worried about being able to do my job after all this, and spoke with my RO yesterday and he assured me that I will be able to do it, Bricklayer Superintendent, and that helped my attitude 100%. Really helped reassure me, Today, I will be 1/3 complete with the microwave sessions, YEA!! As Kent would say Believe.

Best,
Steve

Hi rmkbrad,the pain I am
Hi rmkbrad,the pain I am feeling is in both the ears, and most of the time it's not even bad. It is just noticeable and annoying...

Ear pain prior to diagnosis
The only reason that I went to the doctor prior to diagnosis was the headaches and what I perceived as a loss of hearing but in actuality was my voice was changing ever so slowly. I went to my GP who in turned sent me to an audiologist Who sent me to the ENT that made the initial diagnosis. The headaches continued involving my ear as well as the rest of my head. That goodness I was sent to a specialist that understood the pain and allowed me anything any amount(within reason) at anytime. Once my treatments started the head pains went away and other pains came form the throat, neck and mouth. Not that others pains are good but the heache/ear aches were the worst pains for me throughout the entire ordeal.

Stevenl, I agree with you on edge karte it is pure spam and should be removed. I dislike spammers.

Ear Pain
The Ear Pain is a common symptom/trait of head and neck problems (C). I was lucky in that I only had to deal with a couple days, before it thankfully stopped- Drs. diagnosed as a bout with the left-side Cranial Nerve. Ear pain is something all the Drs. ask about, in the head and neck arena. Anyone who would suggest it is not real has certainly not experienced it. Can be as bad as bad gets. My Mom has MS, and a couple years ago had a laser surgery to partially-sever the problem area with her Cranial.

Seems you're in good spirits, Steve, and that's great to think is fact. Keep fighting the good fight, my friend. And...

Believe.

Hey Guys, Give Me Some Answers
I went to Doctor Monday, this one will be my permanet cancer Doctor, good news, no tumor has been found after my chemo and radiation. Now, someone please tell me what keeps my throat soar and my ears soar, i drink somewhat cold, they burn, i swallow more than cream foods, soft diet, the throat stretches and stings. when will this end, on 6th week of recoup from radiation and chemo, my weight stays at a low, but is stable, the doctor tells me its a one week at a time step forward, not a day, some weeks will be bigger gains than others, i would love to wake up and not have to drain phlem, and get my soreness out of my throat before eating my eggs, I hope this isn't how it's always going to be????, Help Please. The pHlem decreased a little. but When a person hasn't had cancer, it's not a over night fix, My boss was expecting me back to normal by now, Tired of hearing about it. Stress City! Thanks for any feedback on my situation, it hurts, and I take pain meds, This only skims the pain, Thanks everyone, Take Care
