  • Hello Torry_derry_1976

    I'm sorry to hear that you've recently been through treatment for throat cancer. I know from the many posts I've read here in the Cancer Chat community over the years how harsh this treatment can be so it's great to hear that you've been given the all clear now. 

    Lots of members have shared their struggles with eating and drinking after treatment for oral cancers. I'd suggest having a look through some of the posts on this thread where you'll find lots of different stories that have been shared by people. We also have some information on our website about diet problems with cancer that may be helpful. 

    Do talk with your specialist cancer nurse if you're struggling. It may be that a referral to a dietician might be helpful for you. If you'd like to chat with one of our nurses you can call them on 0808 800 4040, Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. 

    I hope that your recovery continues to progress well. 

    Best wishes,
