Yesterday I had first RT session for tongue cancer.
Did not feel unduly concerned about this procedure but during the treatment I felt my adams apple began throbbing.
Was this a personal stress indicator or usual affect from radiation waves ?
Hi. I think you’re stressing. Radiotherapy usually has few perceptible effects until you’ve had ten or so treatments
Hang on in there
