In 2015 I was diagnosed with a malignant tumour in my neck which had paralysed the left side of my face. I had major surgery and radiotherapy and then began my gradual recovery. My facial paralysis still makes eating a challenge, and my radiotherapy caused additional side effects including only being able to open my jaw partially, a loss of sense of taste, difficulty in swallowing – all very common experiences for patients who’ve had head or neck cancer.
