  • Hello Wafita I am soooooo happy to hear u r clear. I told u u would beat it. I was lucky as didnt need to go under the knife bbut was one week away from it as final tumour wasnt going but it did 2 days before I was due to go for check to see if it had gone. I was told I would have had 27 glands removed from my neck!!!

    Radio is not pleasant as I had bad mouth ulcer yes only one my WHOLE mouth and ended up on morphine tabs 60 mg and oramorph up to 8 vials a day!!! My neck just peeled away and hair fell out on back of my head.  But we are both alive. Im sure sou are a SURVIVOR.

    I could have told u all about treatment side effects but everyone is different. BUT get them to check pituitary and thyroid as mine are knackered due to radiot. Took 17 YEARS to appear so get it checked

    Great to hear u have joined Survivors Club. Did u smoke?

  • How you doing Wafita?? Hows life after radio and chemo???
