New level of pain today. I'm getting these sharp pains in my face, jaw, and neck. I think the nerves that were damaged are starting to heal but it really is excruciating. It feels like im being electrocuted. I'm even getting what seems like referred pain on my left shoulder. I've taken the meds today properly but it's even harder to drink water and stay hydrated because I have a sore throat on the side where he took a piece of my tongue. If I can possibly sleep I wake up with a total dry mouth and throat which hurts like crazy. This sucks!!!! I'm 8 days out of surgery and thought I would be seeing some improvement by now.
When will this improve?? Going insane!!!

Feb 2016 - Diagnosed with SCC on tongue, CT scan indicated no visible spread, non HPV-related
March 11, 2016 - 30% of tongue removed, all nodes on left side of neck.
March 23, 2016 - results found cancer in only one node but it had erupted. May or may not have cancer in the neck but am not doing the chemo/radiation route unless it's my last option. Will try naturopathic methods first.
