Hello. I’ve posted once before but mainly just scrolling and finding inspiration in others experience. In my 9th week post radiation treatment. Had 6 week check with nurse practitioner who reassured me healing was going as expected although I was worried about an area where tonsil was removed - it felt rough and swollen as did tongue on same side. It’s improved a bit but still aware of it. Next review with consultant in 2 weeks. PET scan will be at 18 weeks. It was a rough treatment at times but it was head down and keep going. Taste slowly recovering, no real pain now except when a food sets off some stinging. Managed Christmas ok. No real appetite or interest in food but eat I must. Just want to get on other side of PET scan now to see road ahead. Wishing everyone the best happiest New Year possible.
Tonsil cancer with soft pallet involvement. T2N0M0. P16+ 25 sessions Radiotherapy. No chemo. Finished 7/11/25
