My husband is 4 weeks post rad/chemo. He developed extreme pain at one of his ulcer sites and started having ear pain. Saw docs yesterday and they think his mouth ulcer is infected and that's what is causing the pain. They prescribed an antibiotic, but also scheduled an MRI for Friday morning.
Has anyone here every had Rad (36) and Chemo (CarboTax) NOT work for HPV + SCC oropharangeal cancer?

No nodal involvement

Completed 36 Rad and 5 Chemo (CarboTax), Oct. 2014
