Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 15 | I had brachytherapy in May, 2008. This was for my second bout with cancer. The first bout was chemo & radiation together. I'm still trying to recover from the effects of the last treatment. It left my mouth very sore and I have been on pain meds ever since. For over three months I got a lot of infections (neck, tongue, glands, jaw). I have only had a few during 2009.
My latest biopsy (Feb. 2009) showed cancer again and radiation can't be used so I will have surgery to try and cut the cancer out completely. They are doing my tongue and jaw next month.
