There are many after effects that OC survivors deal with on a daily basis. Some can appear months, even years after treatments have ended. The after effects normally are found in patients who have had radiation treatments.
Just like with an original diagnosis, OC can show no signs or symptoms at all until it is able to be visibly seen. Some patients may not have any symptoms at all yet have OC. This is why many times OC is not found until its later stages. Like everything... everyone is different, some will exhibit symptoms while others dont.
I suggest checking in with your ENT or whoever manages your after care. Get a good check up and see what they have to say. When you have something bothering you enough to post here about it, then its time to see your doc. Best thing that could happen is its nothing serious.
Best wishes!
