I am really trying to fight the paranoia that comes with cancer. I have a surgery date 2 weeks today - as you will see from my sig. My cancer is stage two 2.7 cm - and pretty much everything else is clear - based on the scans etc.. But I have a bit of an ear ache - and a sore chin... Now - the earache I had before Christmas and my regular GP said it was a little red and gave me antibiotic which I didn't take - it doesn't hurt all the time just ocassionally and my chin is the same - I think it may be tension ( in my chin - if it press it it doesn't hurt - it's more like muscle pain ) am I being paranoid that the cancer has spread - or should I call my surgeon in a panic? It could be referred pain from tongue lesion - I have read this.
For the most part I am optimistic about all this. I know here are no guarantees in this life - but every once in a while I have a moment of panic - and paranoia - it's almost like I find myself questioning every ache and pain in my head!
It's frustrating!
