Take a deep breath. It's a challenge but it's never as bad as we imagine
Have look at THIS THREAD on helpful tips for those about to start treatment.
You won't see much in the way of acute effects for a couple of weeks so try to relax into the treatment. You can do this a day a a time
PS
my cancer nurse doesn’t reply to emails
Tell your radiographers that you are finding this unacceptable. They should pass the message on.
Im the partner of bridget. I dont know what to say. I had lower left jaw removed and all went well. But loosing all your teeth, i cant imagine. PERSONALLY i regret with a passon having RT. Caused me more grief than good i think. But its your call and always will be. I wish you all the best
