Hi two years down the rd and seem to be some long term effects which was not mentioned this could happen and yes it’s normal and yep I no we are all different in how the treatment effects us and we are here to tell the story because it’s not easy and when things happen our reaction is omg has it come back already seeing what your hubby has gone through feel like your left on your own have to fight for someone to listen to you and offer help and advice work been amazing for me and my hubby support wise but the late effects starting to challenge us yet again I hope this makes sense eating problems chocking chewing

Hi Debbo Sorry hubby is having on going issues as Dani says we are all effected to differing degrees. I have got off lightly,my radiation fatigue. Did seem to linger i was just past 3 years last September when I had my light bulb moment.I no longer needed my 20 min power naps. We don’t realise at ge time how many side effects could effect us . Swallow I’m pretty ok but spicy will be a no no for me.I have slight fibrosis at back of neck radio side but otherwise I’m lucky and living life ok. I have developed a small mucus cyst on vocal cord which is being monitored it doesn’t effect me at all.I do hope you and hubby can get his issues resolved.
