Hello,

My second post. I had the first meeting with my treatment team today, after my diagnosis, and it went well. The throat cancer is localised to one tonsil and a small part of my neck. It is HP 16 positive, which means it is easier to treat. I have no surgery, but 6-8 weeks of radiotherapy with some chemotherapy to help the radiotherapy work.

So the journey starts.

Steve - best of luck with the treatment. I "only" had surgery so can't help with your course of treatment although many of the side effects are similar.
