Hi all

It is 12 months since I finished chemoradiation for tongue cancer T3N2M0. I had previously had 2 heart attacks and have myasthenia gravis so operating was not considered appropriate.

 Treatment was brutal but I got through and was given the all-clear is August last year. To still be hear is miraculous (even consultant and cancer nurse said they’d been surprised).

I still get very tired at times and have Lymphodaema, sticky mucus and other minor issues but that’s a small price to pay. 

Things get really tough but stick with it and, for those recovering, take it steady. I’m hopelessly impatient and sometimes get frustrated by what I can’t do. Then I give myself a slap and revel in all the things I can do.
