Throat/Tonsil Cancer - Our Blogs and Stories

Hi there,

Was disgnosed with throat/tonsil cancer July 18 and am now week 11 post treatment.
I have written a blog, warts and all, in the hope it can help others. I also have a thread that I started here under Living with Cancer also and titled "Radiotherapy for Throat Cancer"

I have now been encouraged by one of the moderators from here to start a fresh new thread to share my blog with others.

There are others who have written blogs/stories and moderator suggested it would be helpful to have a dedicated thread just for blog/stories and to let others read as they might might helpful.
So here is my link below  and I'm sure there are others who will follow and post their blog as well.

kind regards

Ian
