Hi I’m new to the group, I was diagnosed in 2011 with head and neck cancer, and just recently is diagnosed with SCC, of the tongue, I had radiation for the first cancer, don’t think I can go through that again with this cancer, too sensitive, my husband and my mom was my support, but they are deceased so I’m not wanting to go through this without my support system, is there anything I can use for the painful ear aches, hurts so bad?

Are your ear aches due to the tongue cancer? What does your doctor prescribe for it? My cancer being in my ear, I had constant pain as it grew into bone there. I took both Tylenol and Motrin around the clock. To sleep at night I used a small Salonpas pain patch in front of and behind my ear. Pain wasn't gone but much more tolerable. There are many local pain treatments directed toward arthritis but they can help to intercept pain from any source. Biofreeze, Salonpas, Aspercreme with Lidocaine, and Zim's Max Freeze are a few that I use successfully.
