Ear Pain with Throat Cancer

I had severe ear pain which is what got me into the doctor. Though I was misdiagnosed as TMJ(twice) I was found to be in stage IV base of tongue and throat cancer. The ear pain was due to a tumor pressing a nerve which caused permanent damage and I will have ear pain for the rest of my life.

Did you have any imaging done when it was diagnosed as TMJ? I’ve had intermittent ear pain and had a cone beam CT for the TMJ which was clear. But, those don’t see soft tissue very well, so I’m worried that scan missed something.
