Joined: Sep 2009 Posts: 60 | I was in the same boat as Charm. Ear pain for a year, being told to take alergy meds. Then after I lost my insurance due to a layoff, I get a proper diagnosis. The tumor can put pressure on the nerves and cause the pain. I also knew when the treatments were working when after 5 weeks of Rad the ear pain suddenly went away.
