Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 54 | I'm trying not to have a heart attack. Over the last 2 months I developed some white covering over the opposite side where I had cancer 1st time. I started to hurt last few weeks. The ENT saw me today and took biopsy. I won't get results til Monday. I am trying not to freak. The ENT said its 50/50 if cancer again. But he said weird things happen to radiated skin. I have a pit in my stomach from the shock.
Ugh -
