Radiotherapy after Tonsil Cancer and Neck Dissection

Hi Everyone,

Can anyone give me advice on what to expect when having Radiotherapy please..?

I have just had a Cancer tumour removed from my right Tonsil and a right side Neck Dissection to remove a 3cm cancerous Lymph node. Any help will be great thank you...

    I hope you're recovering well from your surgery. We've some information on our website here about radiotherapy for oral cancer which you may find helpful but we've also got a few members who have written their own personal blogs which I'm sure will be of interest. 
    If you use the forum search function (magnifying glass in the blue bar above) to search for [@Taff123]‍ and [@RadioactiveRaz]‍ you will find lots of posts from them and they have shared the link to their blogs with a number of people. 
    You're also welcome to speak to one of our team of nurses here about any questions or concerns that you have. They're available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm on 0808 800 4040. 

    I hope that this helps. 
    Best wishes,
