Hello again.
I finished my treatment on the 20 January, and had my first follow-up scan in May. I have heard nothing from the hospital about that. They even cancelled the follow-up appointment for a later date. I feel I am recovering well, and am suffering a dry mouth which is lessening as time passes.
In all I am getting stronger, and have returned to work. For about three weeks now I have had a very mild irritation/ rash around my shoulder blades and upper back. It comes and goes, but I can't help being paranoid about it being the beggining of another thing. Remember, "it's only a sore throat"?
Anyway, anyone else had this? I am getting it checked out soon.

Hi Steve, I haven’t but I know we do worry. See your GP? No point in seeing ENT about a skin rash after all.
I can’t understand why the wait for scan results.When is your next scheduled review?
