I have had issues with my right nasal cavity for quite a few months now. I can feeLsomething up there. I have had nose bleeds and sometimes just bloody when I blow my nose. I sometimes get a nasal drip. However the last 4/6 months my jaw has started with some pain. I went to the docs who gave my antibiotics,steroid sprays then pain killers and then anti inflammatory tabs which has not made any difference. He recommended I go to the dentist for xray but because my jaw is ceased up I could not open wide enough for the xray disk to fit it. I was sent for a CBT scan at dentist and it was inconclusive so they have referred me to the Max fax team at the hospital for ct scan. That was 5 weeks ago and said it could be up to 12 weeks for an appt. My jaw is getting worse as is the pain, I cannot eat well as I cannot open mouth enough and the pain is becoming unbearable. I am very concerned this is cancer. My dad has had 2 different types of cancer in the last 2/3 years so there is a history of cancer there. Should I be worried? Should I chase things up? I just want on to know what I’m dealing with and not be in constant pain every day.
Hi - you do sound to have so much going on , getting some answers and action would be high on my agenda - I think many folk on here may share stories of wishing to have acted sooner rather than later - contact your team, or contact macmillon for help and guidance - hopefully you’ll get positive news, but don’t wait !
good luck - Nige
