T2N1.... Tonsil cancer...ChemoRadio Week3 just finished...Ninewells

Hi Peter, That's good advice always tell your team of any issues you have. Your halfway there now, you'll soon be finished and, on your recovery and back to full health.

Take care Ray.

Thanks Ray...could not have made it this far without the dedicated support teams.

Hi Peter That’s the right advise if they don’t know they  can’t prescribe the right stuff. I remember the end if week3 only too well. That weekend was my worst inhad ng tube fitted Monday I went from eating to not in a matter of days ,so if you’ve a peg best advise is use it when you need to. Here if you need any advise. 
I had gelclair for my  ulcers prescribed as well.

Hi Hazel...PEG pre fitted... now using PEG food alongside soups/scrambled eggs and soft desserts (Squirty cream)...biggest concern now is constipation due to oral morphine use.

Peter

Laxido, laxido, laxido….

Hi laxido or movicol one sachet a day was ok for me but sone need 2 a day ir if really impacted a 6 sachet boost. Yiu get on prescription. 
please don’t get constipated it only adds to the symptoms.

Hi Dani...

Cut back on Oramorph....upped my Laxido to two.... working a treat (?)...will invest in some prunes and figs ... finely chopped and mixed with squirty cream (dessert)

Peter 

Sounds yummy.

Glad you feel better.

I can tell you that over four years on the smell of Laxido takes me back to treatment days....
