Happy New Year to you all.
I have been discharged by my oncologist, handed over to the ENT team. She confirmed there was no sign of cancer in my tonsil and lymph nodes. Started treatment 3rd July.
I did need a colonoscopy due to some activity showing up on the PET scan which was a bit alarming but turned out to be a polyp with no cell changes phew. So for anyone whose PET scan picks up activity it’s not always what you automatically think.
I'm 4.5 months post treatment eating well with the help of water, sauces and lashings of gravy. I’ve been eating out for the past 2 months albeit it a limited selection but that is increasing. I now like my beef rare find it’s easier to swallow, strangely I thought fish would be easy to eat but I find it very dry maybe need to try sushi Lol.
I’m giving acupuncture a go to try and increase saliva production only 2 sessions in can’t say it’s working yet but will keep you posted.
For anyone starting your journey there is light at the end of the tunnel but it can be a bumpy ride.
Thanks for posting your good news. It’s a slow road to recovery but things get better and better.
I too had an avid PET which threw me mightily but biopsy was benign.
Have a great 2024
