We are following up with the doctors every month by alternating between the ENT and the radiation oncologist and in between sometimes we see the medical oncologist.
We were finally referred to pain management little over a month ago and given morphine and Nortriptylene which is used normally for depression but in low dosage (10 ml daily) can be effective against pain.
We were also given the fentynal patch (100 microgram) but the pain persists.
