Symptom narrative

Within a week of getting the vaccine I got sores in my mouth that lasted several weeks , had one very sore one on the left back side of my tongue under it , a few weeks later I started getting pains from my left jaw to left ear and pains in the back of my neck and limited jaw opening only 2 fingers wide,I went to chiropractor thinking it was tmj , it helped my neck but not my jaw about 2 months later I had a knot pop up under my chin on the left side I went to my primary dr and found it was my lymphoid swollen in December 2021 I had a ct scan which showed cancer in my left tonsil and left tongue base , i saw dr at cancer center , he recommended removing all my teeth a feeding tube and a trach . The trach was for anesthesia to remove my teeth and the feeding tube because of the limited jaw opening, on February 12 2022 I went to hospital to have my teeth removed, trach and feeding tube, I started radiation 35 treatments and 3 chemo treatments at cancer center I finished treatment in May 2022 , I still have limited jaw opening and not able to use dentures I had the trach removed in July 2022 and feeding tube removed in December 2022 I was off work from February to December 2022
