Hubby had been given the all clear in Jan 2013, told to go live life do what ever he wanted to do.
We how wrong were they!
Seems Hubby has complained to the Dr,s in April 2013 that his throat is sore again, has a lot of pain in the right side of his head, no they said nothing wrong with you.
Well now its July 2013 & after having a biopsy done, they say there is a tumour at the base of the tongue as well as a huge ulcer too,
Surgery now planned in August 2013, don't know if its a secondry cancer or a return of the first one,
Waiting to results,

Hello Everyone,
Have people found they have got a secondry cancer after been given the all clear the first time round,
Just wondering how common it is & how long was it in between,
We were told secondry cancer could come about 8-10yrs later, but its only been 6 months for my hubby.
A friend who works with cancer people said it mainly comes within 6 months, so just curious to know.

Hi Missfitz,
My hubby had same chemo drug as u, also radiation, Head pain started in the front R/Side of fore head, spread down to face jaw, teeth, whole right side of head/face down to his neck,
Hot /Cold packs ease pain so slightly, new meds have let him at least get 2-4 hrs sleep now, Panadol does nothing either,
He has to watch what meds they give him, due to a heart attack 2yrs ago,
Do u massage the oil of clove on the outside of your jaw?.
Hopeful it will pass soon,
hubbby finished treatment 26th Nov 2012 too, he was treated at Melbourne ,
Thankyou for you thoughts cheers,

Thankyou Ron50,
Yes my husband has had 3 spinal op,s in the early 2000
so he does know about acute pain management, already has anti depression as a result of this, had heart attack in 2010, followed by a few hiccups the last 2 yrs.
Finished cancer treatment in Dec 2012, best news he has been giving the all clear now.
We thought thank god, but seems life has dealt another blow with the Neuropathy, hubby has a high pain level & still he has been brought to tears with this side effect, going through cancer treatment, was a walk in the park compared to this at the moment.
Back to the Nuerologist on wed, but it seems there is no sun on the horizon !
