Hi all. I have been six years clear of Base of Tongue Cancer. I had a lot of Chemotherapy @ six weeks of Radiotherapy. To be honest I can't remember a lot apart from the awfull pain in my throat. In the last three years I have had terrible pain in the muscle in my neck the side I had the treatment. I have been thrown so many drugs to combat this but nothing seems to work, or I'm not sure if I'm just paranoid. The drugs I have been given are, Tegratol, Chlomazepam, and Gabapentin, the thing is I've looked them up and they are all the same sort of drug. Has anyone out there come up against the same problems. I'm at my wits end, the doctors don't seem to want to know, I feel like I'm being a pain if I keep mentioning it, I've even thought about suicide. Which seems awfully ungrateful of me as I have had my life saved. But sometimes coping with the pain is too much. I have a wonderfull life but I am unable to enjoy it because of this problem, sorry to go on but I've had enough.
