Iv been diagnosed with stage 2 NPC (tumours at the back of the nose and glands. I will be undergoing radiotherapy 1st December. Can anyone share about coping with the treatment and the resulting side effects? Any tips will be most welcomed.
Well welcome to the club ... im sure its not one you wanted to be a member of though
I have just finished 6 weeks of radio & chemo therapy for throat cancer with a secondary site in right neck node
There a few things to watch out for
- your taste will go quickly
- sore throat
- excessive mucus
- lack of appetite and being unable to eat
and a few more
however everyone goes throughs this differently and to different degrees
There are several things you can do to help, but in the main these may only take the top off things .... it's primarily a rough ride but we get through it
I have written a blog detailing my progress through my treatment on gammaraygary.wordpress.com/about/
Please feel free to have a look and come back and ask anything ... there is a lot of good advice on here too
