You may remember me from last year,My husband Ray who is my carer had surgery and radiotherapy for tongue cancer,he has made a good recovery but is still on monthly checks, a few weeks ago he started with pains in his back either side of his mid spine,he mentioned it at clinic and the Dr told him head and neck cancer doesn't spread to that area,the pains are still there, he doesn't normally have any back problems and keeps himself fit, I have read on here about cancer spreading to the spine, so I am very very concerned.
