  • Nice to meet you Guy and good luck with the treatment. You’ll get lots of advice in here, but mine at this juncture would be to try to get as fit as you can before treatment begins, if at all possible. It does help the recovery process. All the best, M

  • Hey Turi 

    I am not sure, so much info, I took very little in!

    How did you find Raigmore, any helpful advice?

    Many thanks

    Guy

  • Hi Guy,

    You might find you have to ask alot of questions when you are in ENT .Take a note book with all your questions in they are not forthcoming i found in ENT.The specialist nurse is very good.If you have time to spare pop into Maggies which is opposite the side entrance to radiotherapy.Its a great place you can sit and have a coffee and the people who work in there are very knowledgeable about all aspects of cancer from benefits to treatment.Seonid Green the manager is very good.Maybe I'll see you in there sometime
