Hiya All,
Just a quick one if that's alright?
I'm stage 4 SCC and under the charge of the Palliative care team. I've recently undergone Palliative radiotherapy which accumulated 5 sessions around 5 minutes of radiotherapy per session. Did not like it being stuck in the mask but went through with it and now dealing with the after effects. So when i get very tired my body will jolt or shake maybe one or two times as I'm settling down. I'm wondering if anybody else has this happen to them? or is it something I should raise with my consultant.
Many Thanks
Chris T
Hi Trixta808 (Chris) and welcome to the chat group.
I see that you are already a member of the head and neck group, so it might help you to put a post in that specific group to see if anyone has had the same experience,
This group is a general chat group, so it might not be as easy to find people in the same situation here, but your post will stay in the group and you might get some additional advice here.
