Hi I'm new here, diagnosed with cancer on right vocal chord in December 2005, radiation in January 2006, they say it worked, still no voice though, couple of weeks ago my glands on the right side started to swell up, and I get terrific pain on the right side of my face, particularly around the jaw area, my temple, , forehead, cheek and chin are very tender and ache a lot, I do have some good days when I think it's improving, but then the pain comes back , it is very difficult to eat because my jaw aches so much. I have a Ct scan tomorrow and then back to Doctor next week for results of that and a very painful biopsy they took last week. The doctor did say my vocal chord is damaged, not sure whether thats permanent or not, but it is a bit worrying, does it mean I will talk in a strained whisper for the rest of my life?
By the way I am a 57 male, living in UK.
Any help or advice would be very welcome
