Hi I'm about to under go chemotherapy and radiation therapy next week for orophangeal cancer.ive been told that if I don't have both sides of my neck treated then the cancer can come back at 20-30% on my left side.ive been told that I'll lose my ability swallow.but if I have my left side treated then I'll have a feeding tube in for at least 18 months .at the moment all of my food is pureed and mashed up due to not being able to swallow as I had extensive throat and neck and shoulder surgery.
I'm already very depressed about this but now I have 48 hours to make my mind up..so the question is ..has anyone else gone through this and what are your experiences of it?
