Kreale

The ulceration could be a side affect from treatment but since the ear pain is there I would stay on top of it. My mothers ear pain never did go away all the while she was taking Radiation treatments. As she complained of ear and jaw pain the doctor would feel along her jaw and neck area, but didn't feel any lumps. The pain was getting worse and worse so that's when a CT & MRI scan was ordered. Both showed positive.
We were thinking this has to be a false positive. The cancer cant be back so soon. So a biopsy of the area was done and sure enough it was back and more of it. This was also 3 weeks after treatment.

The doctors couldn't believe that the cancer had spread like it did while under radiation treatment. The cancer has now spread from the jaw to the cheek & neck area on my mother.

Good Luck
