Clark has been dealing with recurring infection in the soft tissue above his jaw. He has had numerous surgeries to remove a fistula. It keeps coming back. He is 5+ years out from DX. So my question is this:
Could this be indicative of a recurrence of cancer and should we be requesting an MRI? I should add that I have asked this question and so far no one thinks it is related but I worry, you know....
I welcome your comments.
