You're Making Me Dizzy

I had voice box cancer and 30 sessions of RT at 72 and did not have your symptoms.You !!! must mention it to your ENT oncologist.Better safe than sorry.

BUCEPHALUS.

I’ll echo Raymond. 
Bob. Phone your CNS. Dizziness can be cause by the RT, yes, but your eye symptoms are worrying. 

Hi Bob as others have said yes advise your cancer nurse by phone. You say April but always worth getting in touch asap.

With regards to my eyesight - IN called my GP today and she called me back at 3:00pm and it appears that I have Viral Conjunctivitis and I will have some Antibiotic eye-drops from the local chemist tomorrow. I had this a few years ago and I could not see for about 4 days, so I will be off the computer for a few days.

When it happened before, I am sure that my partner, Wilma, was stealing my chips from my plate 

That’s Ace news. Dizziness is quite common so don’t panic. Phew

Hi Bob

Glad you got your eyesight problem diagnosed - hope it's improving.

With regards to feeling unsteady or dizzy, this is not unheard of.   Firstly I would suggest getting a blood test to check your thyroid is functioning properly.  A few months after I'd completed my radiotherapy I began feeling very unsteady and dizzy and found I had hypothyroidism which can occur after rt.  I began feeling unwell again recently and I've just had to have my medication increased again.

If your thyroid is OK, a friend of mine who was experiencing dizziness after rt saw a physio who specialised in vestibular rehab which helped her.

I visited my ENT Oncologist (Dr Casasola) at Ninewells this morning and he reassured me that it is very unlikely that the RT has had any effect on my balance or my eyesight.

After an inspection he stated that he was happy with my progress and that my current problems with my throat and saliva issues were normal and will ease eventually. See him again in 3 months time.

Great news Bawbee! Glad all is progressing as expected.

Great news. How is your balance now?

Not bad but still a wee bit unsteady at times Dani; I haven't had a fall yet, which is good.
