I was diagnosed with throat cancer (hypopharynx squamous cell carcinoma HSCC) in Nov 2024 and started combined chemo and radiation therapies at the end of Dec 2024. The treatment was very, very challenging for me an my family and the side effects became progressively worse as time went on persisting and peaking well after actual treatment ended. The primary cancer was resolved but has metastasized into my lung and lymph nodes so I am now on immunotherapy (Keytruda (pembrolizumab)) and travelling relatively well. Quality of life is good, still a lot of coughing, mucositis etc. but overall doing pretty well.
Hi we’ve chatted already in the head and neck forum.
