Update on treatment so far.

General anaesthesia and opiate analgesics too can make you feel sick. Get well soonest. 
Best of luck for the neck dissection if that’s what is decided. 
Fingers crossed you don’t need RT.

indeed.. reminds me of my base of tongue biopsy.. threw up several times.. thank god I managed to keep it under control in the taxi ride home.

Hi Dani, yes, I have stopped the Oromorph and only take it if I absolutely need it.  I was told to take it  4 times a day for a duration of 7 days, so far I have managed to keep it to twice since I've come home and I am looking to stop it tomorrow (that will be two days on it) I don't want to become dependant.  I have been taking the Paracetamol and Ibuprofen they prescribed me and that has been OK, also the 'special mouthwash/gargle' they gave me.

Yes, I have everything crossed that I won't need radio/chemotherapy.  I will update again after Thursday when I find out what he wants to do next.

Take care.

Me too, I did take one of the cardboard 'hats' with me though, just in case!

yes, same here... had to use one of mine on the way out and dispose of it before I got in the taxi..

That doesn’t happen if you are using it to control pain

Hi Has Dani says yiu don’t become dependent on it when controlling pain , if yiuve had a tonsillectomy the pain may ramp up around day 4 just be aware. Many of us were in oramorph for weeks I was around 13 weeks did a phased withdrawal and never had any issues so please be aware pain is real .

best wishes for Thursday if he decides chemo radiotherapy we’re all here to help.

Bless You, it's horrible isn't it x

Thanks Dani, that's good to know. x

Thanks for the advice, good to know you were on it for weeks without problems at the end. x
