Good evening Steve, im very much like MikeO and echo what he has said, you seem to have a positive attitude towards your treatment which i know from previous experience goes a long way, im sure you will be just fine like  the rest of us who have been through various surgeries and treatments, all the best.

Finished my radiotherapy a month ago. Staff at the hospital were fantastic and really did go the extra mile to help out. I would recommend taking someone with you to the Multi Disciplinary Team (MDT) meetings and weekly sessions with the doctor as you get a lot of info and good to have another pair of ears. Keep hydrated, swishing salt water helped avoid mouth ulcers and bicarbonate of soda does help with mucous. One month out of treatment and I am now eating normally but taste is still odd but is slowly getting better. I wanted to know how the therapy works and when I got the info from my doctor it really helped put my mind at rest. Good luck and stick with it.  Arch
