Hi everyone I am new to all this. I have completed radiotherapy to the throat area and am now ten weeks post treatment. My appetite has come back to normal a while ago, the mucus secretions have dried up but I am still very hoarse and still have pain on one side of my throat. The ENT clinic cannot review me at the moment due to COVID-19 restrictions. Has anyone any stories to share of how long they were in pain for after the completion of treatment.
Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community
I'm sorry to hear that you still have pain in your throat after your recent radiotherapy treatment.
As the community is divided up into cancer specific groups could I recommend that you join the head and neck cancer group where you can ask questions, share experiences and get support from others living with this type of cancer.
To join just click on the link I've created and then choose 'join this group' on the page that opens. You can then introduce yourself and post questions after selecting 'start a discussion' and join in with existing conversations by clicking on 'reply'.
When you have a minute it would be useful if could pop something about your journey so far into your profile as it really helps others when answering or looking for someone with a similar diagnosis. It also means that you don't have to keep repeating yourself. To do this click on your username and then select 'Edit Profile'. You can amend it at any time and if you're not sure what to write you can take a look at mine by clicking on my username.
