Just as it reads! 
I'm 4.5 weeks post treatment for hpv+ tonsil cancer. Last Saturday I woke up to no mucous and today I managed to eat most of a poached egg! I won't lie, it wasn't easy and hurt a fair bit, but the 'lump' feeling I've had when swallowing has all but diminished. I currently have a very sore 'razor blade' throat instead and a tender ulcer which is in a difficult position but it still feels like a major achievement! Onwards and upwards. It's my birthday in 3 weeks and I would love to have built myself up to something a bit exciting!
Eggsellent news! It sounds like you’re over the worst now. My first solid food at about the same time was scrambled eggs and it felt like such a huge step forwards. As you say, onwards and upwards 
Hooray.......Poached eggs were a mainstay of my recovery too and It's funny how the mucous just goes practically overnight

Base of tongue cancer. T2N0M0 6 weeks Radiotherapy finished January 2019
Not a big egg fan myself (by "breakthrough" food was crumpets), but in this case I'm happy to make an exception. Great first step
Metastatic SCC diagnosed 8th October 2013. Modified radical neck dissection November, thirty-five radiotherapy fractions with 2xCisplatin chemo Jan/Feb 2014. Recurrence on larynx diagnosed July 2020 so salvage laryngectomy in September 2020.
What a lovely heading to your post, just by seeing it we all know how much it means, it really is a big achievement as i think mine was a boiled egg 
. Good luck with your continued recovery and hope you can eat some cake on your birthday. All the best.
