Okay, so can I say i am flipping out again. My right ear is hurting something awful again. Same thing happen with the first and second cancer. I know I am just 2.5 weeks out of treatment, but my ear was not hurting. it has just started hurting within the last few days. Please tell me it is just from radiation. I do not go back to the ENT until the second week of March and do not get a PET scan until May. That is so far away. How do I keep myself calm until then? Any ideas? Should I see if I can get in to my ENT sooner? I know he did tell me I could come in sooner if I was concened about anything, but it so expensive to go see him all the time. It hurts so bad. Perhaps the 75 patch was masking the pain as I stepped down to 50 today, because I ran out of 75 and have not had any major pain, and with Drs orders.
