Hi All I am pleased to join the group. I have cancer in my left tonsil and left lymph nodes. I am 18 out of 30 radiotherapy sessions done and 2 out of 6 chemotherapy sessions. I have missed 2 chemo sessions due to not being well enough, but hoping to resume this week xxxx

  • Hi Sue and welcome

    Well done on getting half way. How's the eating and how does your mouth and throat feel?

    I didn't have chemo but I understand that what the chemotherapy does is make the  cancer more sensitive to the RT which is the main event.

    Hazel means a PEG. She’s brilliant. Her typos can make all of us smile even at the most miserable times.
