Hi,

I was diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer of the right tonsil back on February 12th (my 53rd birthday!) TNM 3:1:0.

I decided to blog about preliminaries before chemoradiation treatment, during treatment, and am now well into the recovery period (week 6 after CRT finished). 

As well as covering personal experiences, I also look into some of the science behind the treatments and HPV cancers in men in general. 

I'm also really happy to answer any questions. But just to say, the treatment and recovery are hard, and the side-effects BRUTAL, but you will get there in the end!

As I'm only at week 6 of the recovery period, I'm still finding out loads about both myself and how my body and mind are reacting to the intensity of the radiation therapy. I've learned so much from reading other people's blogs, especially www.radioactiveraz.wordpress.com and radiotherapythroat.home.blog/ 

Cheers, Anson
