Very worried...I've had my first PET / CT Scan the 16th of sept...had my results...they came back clean...but the very next day I had those scans...I've always had pain in my right cheek...but it had moved to my jaw and down my neck...basically everywhere I had surgery...the neck is just stiff..not very soar...but the face is rididulously painful at times...I've went to see a doc for a checkup ..because I had a clear scan...they told me it must be an infection...I've been on the meds for 5 days and no improvements....not knowing what to expect from surgery followed by radiation treatments...everything that happens is very scary..there is no lump in my cheek...wondering if any had similar symptoms...I had 55% of my top palate removed right to my jaw....8 teeth total came out with it...they took out my gums/bone also...just wondering if this could be nerve damage or something..i also have some lymphedema involved....i'm calling tomorrow for an appointment to see my oncologist..i'm gonna request a biopsie..whatever the results..i'll deal with it as they come...but I can't live in pain like this and fear...
