My husband just had an appointment this past Monday with his Oncologist and he brought up the issue with his jaws still being sore. He said it is from the radiation and also didn't seem concerned with it. The area that bothers him the most is right underneath his ears, both sides where the upper and lower jaw meet. Continued good health to you!
