Hi there fellow guys and gals!
First off, Happy New Year to you all and I hope you all managed a good Christmas.
Me in a nutshell,,,
Roughly 6months since I had a tube stuffed up my nose and down my throat to confirm what was wrong with my niggly, not feeling right throat!
Base of tongue cancer
Right, let’s send you for a ton of scans and X-rays,
Let’s take both those tonsils out,
Let’s stick a feeding tube in you for good measure!
Then, let’s put you through 30 rounds of radiation therapy and 2 lots of chemo.
You’ll lose weight, lose your sense of taste, lose a lot of hair, stay in hospital for days and days, and even have a blood transfusion and you feel the worst you could possibly even imagine!
Im still relying on my Peg and having overnight feeds by pump,,, struggling with food big time!
But I made it through all that,,,I’m still making my way through all that!!!
I should get some sort of results in the next month or so to see if all that agony was worth it!!
So that is me!

NG tube and six weeks RT.
January 23 is my five years. The first year was up and down but here I am living so well with only a dry mouth to remind me.
I made a pretty good recovery and luckily most of us do too
I should get some sort of results in the next month or so to see if all that agony was worth it!!
It is
Good luck and let us know how you get on
