After 2 months of complaining of pain and increasing trismus, my Drs finally ordered a CT scan and found a spot behind my left jawbone. I had biopsy and sure enough the cancers back. Saw my ENT Dr last week and they have decided that my treatment will be Chemo followed by surgery in which he will remove my jawbone and while Im on the operating table they will give me a blast of radiation to that area. He assured me that this is completely cureable but its extreme to say the least. Im going to do it because at this point the pain is killing me, I cant eat or sleep and the pain meds theyve given me havent touched it.Ill be seeing my Chemo Dr , Radiation Dr and a Pain management Dr on Monday so I will let you all know what happens then.
