Question about radiotherapy on neck. Tumour.on tongue that has spread to my lymph node. I'll find put Friday when it all starts.

did it hurt having the nasal tube put in i sound a wimp but i’ve had enough pain to last me a lifetime right now xx

Only slight discomfort. Not pain. 

hi again just me i’ve had a call today from hospital on fri got to have a contrast ct scan do u have any idea on this x im feeling i’m not getting any information from my nurse or doctors 

Is this a chest CT? Or a radiotherapy planning scan?

All I know is that I’m having a dye put in hand to detect cancer cells for radiotherapy to be honest I feel like giving up I’m absolutley petrified of having the pain from radiotherapy I know they try and help and everything is different for each person but I’m so scared they said I don’t need a peg or tube as only having it one side I’ve had all my teeth removed last Thursday I don’t know how much more I can cope and deal with 

Have you phoned Chris Curtis at the swallows if your mouth is feeling better?

Don’t give up. You’ll get a nasogastric tube if you can’t eat. They won’t abandon you. 
Do you have support at home? 

Yes my husband amazing I’m speaking a little today Chris emailed me a little but I struggle to understand long words and medical terms x my mouth feels a little better today but I’m having literally horrendous nightmares of radiotherapy on my throat and neck I’m scared of the pain as I’ve had so much the last few months x
