It has been one year since the diagnosis. Radiation and full chemo ended April 30,2007. Since then chemo has been bevacizumab every other week. This ends the first of May. Lymph nodes were removed August 16. PEG Tube removed and all drugs ended late October. Taste buds are fairly normal, except for hot spices. Saliva is a problem, but am able to deal with it. A week and a half ago I started to feel a tingling in the scalp on the right side of my head, opposite the cancer side and an intermittant ear ache in the right year. Also, when my throat dries out, the right side hurts. Saw my ent Jan. 30, who thought at least the ear was the result of the sore throat. The scalp he had not seen before. He scoped my nose and said everything looked fine. I was worried about a cancer of the right tonsil, since the initial symptom was a sore throat and left ear ache. No cancer observed, none on the cat scan in December. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similiar experience.
All in all I feel better each day and am very thankful for my doctors and their knowledge and success.
