I joined a while ago but not posted before. I have tumour at base of tongue. Have had chemo and radiation, I've felt great and felt like a bus ran me over but missed my head so came back for another try!
I live with my partner, no pets, no children together but they are all grown and flown.
Hi Like green
Just wanted to say hello and echo what Dani has said well done for making it through treatment its a hard slog that as we know doesn't end on the last day of radiotherapy.
Im 13 weeks post treatment and feel like I might be turning a corner with small improvements I hope you are the same x
We all have slightly different treatments chemo/ radiotherapy regimes and amounts given over varying weeks , and we are all unique in the way our poor bodies and minds cope ,recover and repair … but hopefully you are in recovery and managing
Sending you a smile and a hug
Debbie
Hi Likegreen
T2N1M0 tonsil cancer HPV+ finished CRT June 2023
Recovery is a tough road.... normally starts after chemoradiotherapy....most of us posting here have experienced the many ups and downs associated with Chemoradio recovery.....nice to have other H&N suffers to go to/bounce off.
Best of luck
Peter.
Hi Peter just 20 visits to Radiotherapy no chemotherapy thankfully, had the first dose today, no problem , next dose at EIGHT o’clock in the morning then another blood test , to quote Tony Hancock, I’ll be walking around with an empty arm
My appointments were all over the place... some early some later...
Ditto
Dani
