Revisit...Post Right Tonsil Cancer SCC- HPV+

Hi Julesey nice to see you back to give such positive encouragement to people newly diagnosed or under treatment. I’m so pleased you are so well and on the mend. Not tried a Gin yet but I’m currently wrapped round a real ale to celebrate some good cancer news from a friend. 

That is excellent news Jules, well done you & enjoy that gin & tonic! 
All the best

Hi there,

This is great to hear. I am exactly in the same position now as your good self. There’ve been lots of ups and downs for both of us, but I am now also gaining saliva, and eating well too.

Yes, let’s celebrate. We have much to be grateful for, so let’s share our good news!

Hi Jules. I like you just over 2 year s post treatment impressed with gin I can just about do the tonic  part .But I can like yiu eat most things ,rarely need water to -get food down but always carry it with me I too have about 95% saliva , when we look back to those early days never thought my mouth would feel right but it does.

Onwards and upwards good to hear from you.

Hi there - good to hear from you

so yes that’s the positives I do get the dark days where I’m paranoid regarding any ache or pain. The back of my tongue is aching this week I’m constantly swallowing and over thinking (sure the ache isn’t normal) but it’s sent me spiralling into a black hole of anxiety - I also have thyroid nodule too that been biopsied and I have to have it done again-as not enough cells to analyse. So all in all really positive recovery but one little hiccup can drag you back.to that place. I just didn’t want people to have no hope when beginning the journey as it get better xx

Lovely to hear that you are recovering well - we do have so much to be grateful for indeed - some days better than others, that was a particularly good day, the gin helped I think! Today not so good. Ive developed all I can describe as an ‘OCD’ type of anxiety - very strange - I’m just super sensitive to any ache or pain any where in the head neck region. My tongue aches at the back so I’m continuously swallowing checking it and looking down my throat- crazy! I over think and panic it’s horrible - 

Hi Chris 

i hear real ale has many health benefits! Gin is good for the complexion haha 

Yes all an all very positive but as mentioned above to mark I’ve had a bad couple of weeks - 

But I’m sure it’ll pass 

How are you getting along Linda? Xx
