Thanks Dr. Mike,
Yes,
Tumour is in lower right jaw.
I spoke to the consultant on Wednesday and he said that if I can manage the pain with painkillers and oragel, then to 'leave well alone'for now.
He also said that if the pain in jaw-bone worsens, they may consider radiation to ease it, but at the moment I would probably not get any benefit from it as it's manageable.
I guess I've been wary of too many painkillers in case of dependency, but have now accepted a prescription for Co-codamol--I've certainly slept better the last couple of nights!
