any advice

I have now finished 2 weeks after 20 sessions of radiotherapy but still have a lunp in my throat which feels like the adams apple. It is constinatly hurting and stopping me eating and drinking,, have lost over 24lbs in weight and am always tired

any suggestions?

  • Hello 4mal

    I'm sorry to hear that you're still struggling with some problems after finishing radiotherapy.

    It's not uncommon for people to continue to experience some side effects for a few weeks after treatment has finished. Please do get in touch with your Consultant or clinical nurse specialist about your concerns so that they can arrange to see you if necessary.  

    I know we've quite a few members here who have had radiotherapy to the throat area including [@RadioactiveRaz]‍  and [@Anchor1707]‍. I'd suggest having a look at this thread and maybe posting a reply. I'm sure some of the members who have been through similar treatment will reply to share their advice and experiences with you. 

    I hope that things settle over the coming weeks and that you feel more comfortable and able to eat Keep in touch 4mal and let us know how you're getting on. 

    Best wishes,
