Hi!

 

Thanks for adding me.

I had tonsil cancer for which I had laser surgery to remove right tonsil and affected areas, and a neck dissection to remove lymph glands on right side of neck and half my thyroid.  Only one gland was affected, and the thyroid was clear.

This was followed up with 30 sessions of radiotherapy over 6 weeks that were completed on 11th May.

 

I saw my oncologist a few days ago and he was very happy with my progress.  Weight has remained pretty stable, and I've been able to eat more over the last week or so.

  • Hi Glenys,

    It's a pleasure to have you on board our forum!

    Fantastic news that your oncologist is very happy with your progress and that your weight is stable. We're pleased to hear too that you have been able to eat more in the last week or so. What kinds of foods are you able to eat now and do you have any favourite snacks?

    I hope you will meet others here who have been affected by tonsil cancer and that you can continue to recover so well. Keep us updated on your progress if you get a chance!

    Best wishes,
