Vik, I am so sorry, you and your husband are in my prayers. I am 8 months out of treatment,7 cisplatin/35 rad, and have noticed a shooting pain in my leg. I will check with ENT this month when I go for monthly scope. Truly, I knew VERY little about cancer and treatment until I began this journey.

Education is crucial to my sanity! I recommend "After Cancer Treatment" by Julie Silver, MD and "After Cancer-A guide to your new life" by Wendy Harpham, MD. I had no idea there would be side affects from treatment, really, naive I know.

Take care of yourself and your husband!
