Hi
Most of you will know me by now, we have quite a few new people starting or due to start treatment thought I would pop this link on as a reminder of the importance of how hard it can be to eat.There’s lots of info and suggestions for pre and post treatment.
This is a link to a BAHNO which is British association of head and neck oncologists publication with recipes .

On a personal note I’ve struggled with salads ever since treatment finished.Our grandson the other day was over in Spain visiting us for Easter he said Nana try Greek yoghurt instead of mayonnaise etc. Eureka moment I’ve had salads the last days no ulcers after tomatoes and the rest of it goes down easier..So worth remembering.
It’s 4 years next month since I first heard the words that none of us want to hear cancer pathway.But as I say onwards and upwards I’m still here.
Hugs

Good on you Hazel, you're a massive stalwart in the group and have helped countless people in recent years, proud to know you (albeit virtually). There's not many that stick around for years after their treatment to hold the hand of newbies, and I completely understand that some want to move on and forget, but you're a special person and an absolute star for still being here every day.
Enjoy the sun xx
Metastatic SCC diagnosed 8th October 2013. Modified radical neck dissection November, thirty-five radiotherapy fractions with 2xCisplatin chemo Jan/Feb 2014. Recurrence on larynx diagnosed July 2020 so salvage laryngectomy in September 2020.
Brilliant Hazel.
You are here every day and you put so much into this forum. You have saved countless of people from the depths of despair. You are a very special lady. This place would be lost without you and Macmillan is lucky to have you

Fairs fair Mike. You and Chris have been through masses of rubbish and still you’re here to do more than your fair share of hand holding.
Many of us that hang around have got off extremely lightly and have recovered really well. If I had a hat I would take it off to you both
