So sorry. That was exactly the same as me.  I had to have 7 rounds of chemo.  Immnow 12 weeks post treatment.  Tumour gone but pretty severe throat issues.  Eating is not an option, I'm totally reliant of RIG tube feeding.  It's barbaric treatment, very prolonged and difficult.  However, there are no other options and you will get through it.  With hindsight zI would suggest you take the pain killers regularly and take wanting on offer.  Listen to your body, sleep and rest.  I thought I could manage it all soon found out I couldn't.   Good luck

You'll do it!  Just listen to your body andvtake pain lillers regularly!!!!!!

Hi Lillian

Listen to the experts, Dietitian SLT, Physio, nurses and RT staff they know how you are going to feel 2 to 3 weeks before you do. amazing
