Hi everyone 

I'm new here and want to say hi and get some advice.

I had tongue flap and a neck dissection 5 weeks ago, have radiotherapy and chemo starting next week but am panicking about having the mask on for 15 mins, just about managed the 5 mins during the CT Scan on Monday. How did you cope?

Also, how long does the face and neck numbness last? 

Thanks Dee

  • I still have mine.. it comes in really handy for hallowe’en.. last year I didn’t need make up as not long out of treatment. Answering the door with that on your shoulders and a couple of extras certainly livened things up a bit..
