I have head and neck cancer.
I have had surgery and have had 2 weeks radiotherapy.
I feel I have been left to rot; without support or guidance.
Just radiotherapy and travel, from home to a hospital miles away.
Am looking for a community support group I could access like this one.
My face is constantly burning, my neck is burning, my pain is really high, help!
Hi. Come and join us at the head and neck cancer group.

That’s just when side effects kick in. I guess you’ll be having an RT session tomorrow
Let your radiographers know how you feel. They will get the wheels in motion to organise proper pain relief and a cream for your neck. Hopefully it will be in place by Tuesday.
