Head Pain

in Long-Term Effects of Treatment #1
Due to all the radiation treatment to my head 6 years ago it is now starting to give a lot of problems, hurting all the time. Radiation twice once in 2002 and again in 2004 for NPC, when I asked my local oncal man about why I am having so much pain he said he is not sure. I asked him how many others do you have like me and do they have this problem, he said you are the only one I have with NPC and I did not expect you to live this long, thanks doc is all I could say. It sure gets you depressed living in pain all the time but I guess I should be glad because there are a lot of others who are worse off then I am.

Sorry sometimes it just feels good to vent it out and go back to living again
