Due to have mask fitted next week for first radiotherapy session.
Had mine fitted last week. The staff were incredibly reassuring. I start RT in 10 days for tonsil cancer
Hi, I have tonsil cancer too. What a scary time. Had the tonsil out, loads of teeth and I start treatment 5th January.. 7 weeks of Radiotherapy and 2 chemo session..
How are you getting on?
Hope you don't mind me messaging
Hi, The mask fitting was a bit daunting as I'm quite claustrophobic, but although it's not pleasant, I'm actually getting used to it.
The first 2 weeks of RT were OK, but just having completed my 3rd week, the side effects are kicking in. Sore throat +++, mouth ulcers & fatigue.
I've been prescribed oramorph which I use sparingly, plus liquid paracetamol & mouth, which help (sometimes!) Some days are better than others. Good Luck!
