Hi Ian plus let’s face it if we thought something wasn’t right we would both be on the phone to our respective consultants !!!! Think by now we know our own throats inside out acupuncturist tomorrow will let you know x

Good Kelly and hope it has....

Ian

Yayy Ian! Fab news- 1 year on..well nearly so another positive milestone- made my day :-)

Great stuff Ian.

Totally different each consultant and each case too i guess. Im 6 months out from last radiotherapy, had 2 consultations there, and one with camera ( but there was never a tumour to see so guess that is why), due more in December

.I have read on other threads and sites the fact that is is variable with ort TNM statuses guiding it. Keep it up pal.

Hi Hazel-Hope alls well with you...

Just to let you know our holiday was great! No problems at all, flight was good-tips on water was handy-so thanks for that! Joe could eat & drink pretty much normally- the hangover after the shandys & ouzos wasn't great-but we never have been drinkers so no surprize there-we never learn! Good night though from what I can remember & good to let our hair down after this year....

Oh & snorkelling left Joe feeling a bit dry-which isn't surprizing breathing through a small tube with salt water & sun- we never even thought of that! But no hardship there-he left me to snorkel while he lay in a hammock reading! So all in all a good holiday- Oh & guess what-we got chatting to another couple & the guy also had this cancer- 3 years ago-he's doing ok too so always nice to hear-so as you all say-light at the end of the tunnel :-) x

Hi brill news that the holiday worked out well. We sailed to Spain on Tuesday so sat in balcony nibbling crisps which I deffo couldn’t  do a year ago ok takes me 45 mins to get through a 30 gram pack but hey it’s worth it. 

Alcohol braver than me haven’t had a drink since April last year like yiu nit a big drinker but don’t think I could manage even a shandy warr is still my drink but one day who knows. Glad hubby eating well it’s always good for other who may pick uo the thread further down the  the line to hear of our success .Christmas dinner the next big hurdle for you copious amounts of food I still can’t easily do a 3 course .

keep in touch love to hear the updates

Hi everyone hope you are all doing well Iv just popped in to see whats going on, its looking quiter which is a good sign I hope. Its a year since I had my first symptoms which was a small amount of blood appeared in my mouth. A year on, 8 months post treatment and happy to say Im almost back to square one.

Im eating normally, have the odd curry providing its not too hot which is due the almost back to normal saliva apart from being dry at the back of my throat mainly first thing in the morning, my muscle mass has come back a little more although someone who Iv not seen in a while said my face was thinner which is true, I think this whole experience has aged me a bit but in the grand scheme of things its a small price to pay. 

Next check up Oct 10th.

HinDave brill news as Ian says onward and upward , sure you haven’t aged coz  we aren’t playing well lol and just blaming the cancer !!
