Ear Pain with Throat Cancer

Hello @saift. It started with one-sided throat pain. It felt like a regular sore throat which I had suffered many of in my lifetime. Yet, this time was different, as antibiotics did not take it away. After about 6 months, the pain in my ear began on the same side as my throat pain. This pain was getting bad, and fast. I tried all the usual things...heating pads, numbing ear pain drops, cortisone ear drops, etc., but the pain kept increasing. Having been misdiagnosed several times (even a CT scan was wrong) I was crying in pain when my GP told me to go to an Indiana University ENT. This wonderful doctor did the same scope as all the others yet spotted the throat tumor right off the bat. The usual radiation with head mask was initiated, and so far, so good. This was back in 2020 and has been quite a journey in many aspects. One main thing is taught me was not to believe what a doctor says if my spirit is telling me something else. Praise God through prayer. If you are suffering with this progressive pain, get as many opinions as you possibly can. Best wishes to you.
