Hi Walter, very sorry to hear this. It must a very worrying time for you. Going back to your comment on yawning, I found yawning very painful for weeks during and after treatment. And I think it also started after the biopsy. I didn't tihnk pain was a typical symtom of a recurrence, if that is what is worrying you. But obviously it will be the biopsy that will give you the answer. I hope you don't have to wait too long. Sally
