Hi Everyone
I am now 13 months on after having 6 weeks of Radiotheraphy and Chemo, cancer had spread to right hand side of neck into the lymph nodes and a large tumour under the base of the tongue.
I am in remission and want to give everyone who may be goiung through this treatment or still in early stages after treatment that things do get better. I do have some taste issues, espeically with sweet things, fruit and saliva is limited, but apart from that everything is more or less normal.
I can fully enjoy life, go out for meals without worrying what the menu is. Looking back it was probalbly this Jan, one year on from when treatment finished, where I felt my full energy levels return, before that I would still get tired at times. I am very active and gradually got my fitness back to pre cancer. This has really helped my mental state, and overall mindset to remain posiitive.
I still remain positive that further improvements will happen and currently trying Hypnotherapy to see if that can re-wire the brain for memories of taste. I just want to expore every avenue and I have nothing to lose if it doesnt work.
I hope this message may give some hope that things can and do change for the better.
Phil
