My husband had lung cancer a year ago and
since January the tumour has gone and not
reappeared. But as his chemopherapy had
stopped in the January he has not yet got
his taste buds back neither appetite or
smell. He was always cold, even in the car
with a coat and hat on sweating me out
with the heater full blast, he felt
freezing! He had general small headaches.
My husband previous to the cancer did
suffer from back ache and does have
ankylosis spondylitus but not showing
problems on an earlier scan. Head aches
started coming more and more and was
having a stiff neck, Doctor said his neck
was like rock any how the last month the
head ache is getting much worse and since
last week very chronic. He feels sick coz
of pain and doesnt want to eat or drink. 3
weeks ago the oncologist gave a head scan
and it came back clear of tumours.
Yesterday one of the young intern doctors
said they thought he had cancer in the
fluid around his brain, what a shock. His
lumber puncture was took yesterday and
told its 15 days for a result? Have you
ideas on what it may be. he has no
numbness in face no confusion, no
tingerling but he has had back pain for
3-4 years and general neck pain and his
teeth are all painful but a dentist cannot
find a problem. Could all this be from
past injury or the dreaded cancer, any
ideas as 15 days is a long wait and i need
some hope.
