I am 72 and have just been diagnosed with cancer of the tongue. Recommended treatment at this time is 6 weeks radiotherapy, which sounds as if it will be daunting. Any advice would be welcome.

Hi Vatch
First of 30 sessions start on Monday. Very apprehensive but support on this site is very helpful. Will let you know how I get on.

Hi the radiotherapy is fine I treat going to the hospital like when I was working , have separate clothes black trousers n tops , get changed as soon as imam home save some the hassle of what to wear.
have personalised my mask say good morning to it ask if it’s had a nice weekend . The staff think it’s amusing , one word get cream off them mine gives sobrederm and end if week 3 tomorrow am a little red but nothing a jot. I do sun burn easily am a factor 30girl at the best of times.
No perfumes ni deodorant no bubble bath and scarf when outside as the sun will get you .
we can take our own music in not sire if uncan but worth putting a c d in your bag. I try to get morning appointments then at least rest of day I can nap if I need to as radiation tiredness soon takes over . I will send you a friend request if you want then we can talk in private . I check site once a day.
look at my blog www.radioactiveraz.wordpress.com
Are you having chemotherapy? I am and now have horrendous mouth ulcers one of the side effects .
