Hi
Currently truing to come to terms with my consultant visit yesterday. My own fault in a way as I was making sure I was prepared, read all the side effects for radiotherapy and the blogs of relevant champions on here. All well and good then I was still thinking that as my cancer was on found limited to ‘just’ the surface of tonsil and although SSC was suspected between the tonsil and soft palate but only abnormal cells found in lymph node and soft palate area (and he’d taken a big sample from there). Which I though was ‘good’.
anyway who was I ? Feeling grateful and thinking I’ve got a little bit of cancer and will only have a little bit if radiotherapy. The consultant chat put me straight. People on here had warned the chat is scary with all the side effects but I felt prepared. I don’t know how anyone is really prepared for them to start booking a day surgery to put your feeding tube in. Hearing all this when you feel well is Both lymph nodes will be treated so I will reread the blogs and find out about how many weeks after treatment starts that I’ll stop eating… when will I need to stop working (self employed).
I told my mum and dad yesterday. Mum cried and asked will you lose your hair? I was able to say no. Small comforts x I seemed to spend a lot of time reassuring other people yesterday x
