Sounds as if you are doing extremely well. Interesting what Uptown says about NSAIDs. I've always been wary of them for my mouth's sake but at the moment they seem to be the only thing that will deal to the toothache when it flares up.(Seeing dentist soon.)
1996, ovarian cancer surgery + cisplatin and taxol.
September, 2007, SCC of left lateral tongue. Excision.
October, 2009 recurrence in scar tissue, T1NOMO. Free flap surgery from left wrist - neck dissection. 63 year old New Zealander. No chemo, no RT.
February, 2014. New primary in left buccal mucosa. Marginal mandibulectomy, neck dissection, right arm free forearm flap. T1N0M0 but third occurrence and some areas of concern: RT started 8 April and finished 19 May.
