Ulsterlady - diagnosed with tonsil cancer. Have recently started radiation therapy

Hi my name is Angela…I’m 72 years old,  and I’ve recently been diagnosed with tonsil cancer T3N1 with a small node in lung as well. My treatment plan  is radiation therapy…2 grays  over seven weeks (35 sessions). Today will be my third session….I appreciate that I may face a rough road ahead (my brother in law is two years ahead of having nasopharyngeal cancer, and so I have some idea of just how tough treatment can be). I read a lot from different forums and I do believe that sharing info and experiences can be very helpful as we go on this journey together.
