Hi all,
I'm about 9 years out and have, once again, some symptoms that have me worried. My cancer originated on left side and metastasized to right neck. I had a right neck disection with chemo and rads. I've never really experienced symptoms on my right side until last december when i had a pretty good case of sinusitis, worse on the right. about 2 weeks ago, my right neck became sore. my scm muscle is really tight and tender. the muscle seems to hurt when i swallow. my right ear hurts, maybe more of a deep burning sensation. my right cheek is tingly, sometimes my right sinus is blocked, sometimes not. my right side all together feels full. i've rationalized this as either s sinus issue or an scm problem that is referring pain to the problem areas. But fear creeps in. aside from the last bout of sinusitis, ive never experienced this before on the right side, oddly enough considering my disection. it has me worried. i have an appointment on wed. also had mri last dec, which revealed the pan sinusitis. wondered if anyone had any similar experiences. the pain in my neck upon swallowing is the most troublesome. i can turn my head to the right when i swallow and it wont hurt. weird, i know. lastly, i have not had a cold but maybe some allergy issues the entire summer. thanks in advance
