My pain has intensified. I haven't been able to eat all day. I had tears pouring out trying to just tolerate soup at lunch... While the pain seemed diffuse a few days ago (all over the left side of my mouth - original site of the tumor), now everything points to great pain under my tongue where the tongue meets the floor of my mouth. I don't feel anything rough, can't see anything because of where it is. Neurontin doesn't do squat. Taking 800 mg of ibuprofen every 4 hours which is now causing big time stomach upset - so added Prevacid. I'm calling the doc tomorrow morning. Sadly, he's only in the office to see patients on Tuesdays and Thursdays...

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Not a happy camper.
