Hi Peter,

My partner finished treatment for stage 4 tonisl cancer Nov 2008 and started having the kind of pains you are talking about in I think March this year. If you search for my posts you will probably find more accurate dates and a chronicle of my worries all of which have turned out to be side effects...well that is what we are assuming. There are a few people who have posted here with similar symptoms and I think the jaw cramping - short very sharp pains which can reduce grown men to tears is quite common.

You might like to join the yahoo groups tonsil cancer support group too it it populated with tonsil cancer patients current and past and therefore often the source of more specif info you may be interested in.

Do get your symptoms checked out, but I sincerely doubt they are cause for alarm.
Best
Cath
