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...

    Hi Simon this is Hazel aka RadioactiveRaz I am now 21 month post radiotherapy for tonsil cancer with several affected lymph nodes I had no surgery but 35 radiotherapy sessions along with 2.chemotherapy. The treatment is doable it’s pretty brutal but the ootcome is very favourable. I am niw living my life riding my bike going on holidays ok I have slight issues with spicy and curry things but small price to soy. 

    My blog is www.radioactiveraz.wordpress,com hope it helps any questions just ask. 

    I was 61 when diagnosed and a true wimp 

    Kerp in touch Hazel x
