Hello everyone,
I’m looking for advice and personal experiences from anyone who has been diagnosed with oropharyngeal (tonsil) cancer, or who has supported a loved one through it.
The doctors have recommended a combination of radiotherapy and chemotherapy, and I would really appreciate hearing about your experiences and any advice you could share.
In particular, I’d be grateful for any suggestions on how best to prepare for treatment, what to expect during and after treatment, and any practical tips that might help manage the side effects and make the journey a little easier.
Any recommendations, personal experiences, or words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help and support.
Hi Juan can I recommend that you look to join and put up your own post in our dedicated…….
…….. support group.
This group is a safe place to talk to others with a similar diagnosis, treatment experience, to ask questions and get support.
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
