Hi Aladinsane

sorry to hear  you e  joined our small exclusive club that no one really wants to join. I thu i we’ve contacted via Macmillan site ?

i am niw 6 month post radiotherapy for tonsil cancer wiyh spread to lymph nodes and soft palate and anterior wall of mouth ,was given all clear on 14 jan my treatment was 35 radiotherapy sessions n 2 chemotherapy.i am still suffering dry mouth m didn’t have a peg but atbweek 5 was given a nasal feeding tube for 6 weeks. 

I have a blog www.radioactiveraz.wordpress.com where i go into detail of my treatment and recover also with link to anither guys blog .

sorry can’t be more precise specific to yiu but it may help to know that although treatment is tough the results are good.

ask away any questions and will get back to you. 

All I can say ian hang in there , a girl who I met early in treatment was sick every day we are all different everyine reacts differently ,just keep your radiotherapy tram and nurses in the loop they will help as much as they can

haze,

yes I first posted on Macmillan, I have really suffered since starting radiation treatment, the consultant said with it getting aggressive they would normally combine it with chemo but due to my other health problems this isn’t safe, I find it difficult to talk, always feeling like my throat is closing up, and wasn’t expecting the nausea feeling this quick as only had 9 treatments, I will have a look at your blog as it does help knowing it’s not just you going through this and reading the success story’s, I’ve witnessed a few ringing the bell while waiting for my appointments.

many thanks

Hi Aladinsane,

Am sorry to hear of your symptoms and the challenging side effects it brings.

I was diagnosed with tonsil cancer last July and like Hazel have also written a detailed blog warts at all.
This details my journey and also a bunch of tips picked up along the way from my own experience and others.It also highlights that I too, like Hazel had light at the end of the tunnel and was given the all clear a week past thursday.
Again please feel free to join my thread as lots of support and tips there as well from quite a few others as well.

Anchor1707 , its under living with cancer and titled Radiotherapy for Throat Cancer.

Please keep porting if you feel you can help in anyway, but I hope this other blog helps you as well
