Hi all
Just a question I am 1 and 1/2 years out from treatment from tonsil and throat cancer and have been have chest pains and discomfort for a short while. I am off for a chest xray today.
Has anyone had a recurrence of the disease in another area of the body?

I haven’t personally but it does happen, not often though.

Do remember, it’s winter and there are lots of viruses about. I’ve just had an invite for RSV vaccine.
There’s also reflux which is really common after RT. I’m on PPI permanently.

Thanks for your replies.
I'm not unduly worried at present as I have other post treatment issues that have come up too.
Waiting for surgery to remove surgical clip from stomach which got stuck in stomach wall after removing feeding tube and referred to maxfax as jaw is making cracking noises and causing pain in face and neck so feel a bit like I've gone back a few steps not forward lately.
