Hi I'm. John
48 years young
Diagnosed with stage 2 nasal pharanx cancer and spread to neck nodes
This was all diagnosed March 2020
Had 12 weeks of chemo
6 weeks of radio
Was the toughest battle Ive ever had to endure but I'd just Happy to be here
Ive changed
A lot
I suppose we all do after facing our own mortality
Thanks for having me ️

My blog is www.radioactiveraz.wordpress.com HPV 16+ tonsil cancer Now 6 years post treatment. 35 radiotherapy 2 chemo T2N2NM.Happily getting on with living always happy to help
2 videos I’ve been involved with raising awareness of HNC and HPV cancers
I. Never imagined it either
It presented itself as sinutitus
Then quickly escalated to the point I couldn't breathe out of my nose at all
That was scary
Recovery is slow but sure
Taste returning
Saliva not
I'm. Back at work 6 months after treatment
That was a good milstonee for me.
It's been a battle.
The covid situation has made it tougher
And in some ways easier
My wife never got to. See me crying in the last week of radio
She's seen enough pain ️
You got through and well done. It’s bloody awful what the radiologists do to us. But hey. They manage to fix us
