Hi some of you will know a little of what is going on with me. I was seen by an oncologist in july for a highly suspected carcinoma of lower eyelid (they think caused by radiotherapy to an optic pathway glioma) Fast forward 5 weeks and a week ago had the tumour removed along with a third of my lower eyelid. Due back with the surgeon on th 9th sept. The stitches have started comming out and the wound has opened. Pictures sent to the urgent eye clinic and they are now seeing me at 9am this Tuesday. The problem is I have started to develop a deep pain in the eye and the area where my existing glioma is and now my calm and rational self has started to feel anxious about infiltration of the carcinoma ( it is currently being sub typed and results were due on the 9th at clinic). I don't have a fever so I dont think localised infection and currently on antibiotic eye gel for the wound. It is more the pain that is causing me issue and is now causing a blip of earache. Logical me is saying that it is probably localised trauma that is causing the eye and glioma pain but it's the niggling thought that the carcinima has infiltrated ( I was told this can happed with carcinoma of the eyelid and they can behave a little differently to other areas of  the body) I guess 4 days is not long to wait to raise my concerns and I probably put this post up to help me be a bit more rational. If anyone has experienced similar deferred post surgical pain i would be interested to know.

thank you in advance
