Hi am 4 weeks into a 6 week radiotherapy course  am feeling very weak my taste  buds have virtually  disappeared  the treatment and support  is second to none but my cancer centre is extremely busy and I would  like to chat with people in a similar  situation ie  tonsil cancer  also about emotional  and mental distress.

  • Hello Ytee and welcome to Cancer Chat.

    I'm sorry to hear about the side effects you're currently contending with. This must be very tough but our members are here for you Ytee and hopefully those who have had tonsil cancer and/or radiotherapy will be along soon to share their experiences and advice.

    I hope this information we have about managing fatigue and tips for dealing with changes in taste will be useful but for further information and advice, you can give our team of cancer nurses a call on 0808 800 4040, Monday - Friday between 9a.m - 5p.m. They're very easy to talk to and will do all they can to help.

    We're sending you all our support Ytee and wishing you all the best with the last two weeks of your radiotherapy.

    Kind regards,

    Steph, Cancer Chat Moderator
