I finished treatment 6 months ago for SCC under the tongue Stage III. The ENT doctor says there is no sign of cancer. I had the peg tube removed three weeks ago and am eating. Here is the problem. I have developed sores on the side of my tongue and an ulcer on the right side of my
jaw. It it so painful that I am taking two 10 mg. Percocet every four hours and this is not totally stopping the pain. Can anyone tell me if
they are having the same problem and any suggestions on what I can do to alleviate the pain especially when I eat. The ENT doctor is sending me to a pain specialist next week and I also want to know what to expect. Please let me
know what the pain specialist will do.
