Hi Moi
How worse?
Recovery takes a long time and most of us aren’t happy with progress for six months or so. Steps backwards are really normal.
Have you done anything different from your normal routine? Eaten something, been too active? That sort of thing.
Are you doing much mouth breathing and laughing with your partner ?
Honestly I don't know but recovery is up and down.
Even over seven ears down the line with the season and weather changing I can feel the first of my sore throats creeping up
Thanks for response ,
I was just worried as not as far along as you in terms of recovery . Having pain in neck and collar bone as well as sore throat and ears . Haven't done anything different in my routine . Had a recent check up with camera and doctor said all clear on camera . Have MRI on 3rd October , scary times

All those can still be put down to effects of RT and you are still so early in your recovery
I know it's hard. Hopefully your MRI will be clear
Hello Moi,I had a port in for chemo which caused pain for me in my neck and collar bone so I had them remove the port.
Hi ,
Thanks for this, I'm not in a very good place at moment . Every twitch i think its not worked . Gets worse as scan gets closer . Nurse tells me concentrate on clear camera I had end of August. I'm just afraid I guess x
