I’ve spoken on here a couple of times about my husband who has head and neck cancer (tonsil/throat) stage 4 aggressive
he has been having 6 weeks radiotherapy and has 4 sessions to go
he has attempted to have chemotherapy but rejected it and had a. Reaction to both cisplatin and carboplatin he is having doxycycline tomorrow
my question is he has now been bothered with a sore shoulder and my mind is wandering to has this spread? He says it’s not a sharp pain but more like cold shoulder and I can’t stop worrying…
could this be from radiotherapy?
anyone else suffered with anything similar with radiotherapy?
