I am 2 months out of treatment & have been experiencing ear pain in my left ear (the same side my tonue cancer was on). It scares me because I had bad ear pain before, which actually took me to the dentist to get checked out and then was diagnosed. I talked to my RN & surgeon about it & they said this was "common" after radiation & it could be swelling. I don't want to "overlook" anything. I'll be getting my first PET in a couple of weeks. Has anyone else experienced this??
