i was diagnoised with throat cancer last year and i have had 35 radiation and 2 chemo.  i came through it and got the all clear in november i was very happy but 2 months later i started to get scared

i keep thinking its coming back. I had a sore throat and I panic. i have my 3 month check up this week. does anyone else feel the same as me.

also after treatment even though it finished in july i still find myself being tired has anybody had throat cancer ? i wondered how other people cope ?

  • Hi Dermot and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm so pleased you have been given the all clear although I'm sorry for the worries you have about a cancer reoccurrence.

    I hope it helps to know that this is a very common fear that our members have had after finishing their treatment, so you are not alone, and I'm sure it won't be long until some of them stop by to offer their support and advice.

    If you feel it may help to talk things through with one of our cancer nurses, you can give them a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m.

    We're thinking of you Dermot and wishing you all the best with your check up this week.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
