  • Hello and thank you for posting. 

    I'm sorry you are having problems with pain and infection in your jaw, that is miserable for you. I hope you have medication and support to help.

    Everyone's experience of cancer is individual, but you may get more people responding if you move your post to the 'newly diagnosed' or 'living with cancer' sections of this forum.

    If you feel that the painkillers aren't helping then do contact your team or specialist nurse before next week to let them know.

    Take care and if you find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline the number is Freephone 0808 800 4040. The lines are open from 9 am till 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

    Sarah.
