Hi Paul
T2N1M0 tonsil cancer....finished Chemoradiotherapy June 2023.
20 sessions? first two weeks are manageable for most....then gets a bit tougher....have you been offered a feeding Tube?
Don't Google too much....info on this forum is much more reliable and has been posted by cancer patients who have walked the walk.
Best of luck

Don’t be brave. Take your analgesia by the clock. Tell your radiographers if something isn’t working for you or if you need something. Keep sane. This will be over soon and it’s doable a day at a time.
