Feeling positive

Hi loopyliz, it's good that you are having a feeding tube, they really help during and after treatment. Just take things one day at a time, you will get there. We're all here for you when you need us.

Ray.  

It’s all happening g and as you say the new year will see the back of it all. Hang in there 

Hi Loopyliz

Looks like you're having the full Monty, good luck with everything, any questions just ask, nothing is off limits.

if you have time get a fluoride varnish on your teeth.. there might be days when you're just not up to keeping on top of oral hygiene.. your mouth will take a lot of punishment.. and remember, any issues don't hesitate to tell your team. 

Thanks guys, as I say hopefully I should start my RT in 2 week-ish but for now I just have a flurry of appointments but definitely trying to see the positives, thanks for ur support x

Hi beau, how do I get a fluoride varnish please 

Hi Loopyliz

Prior to starting treatment I indulged in my favourite foods, curries and chippy food, knew that my taste buds were going to take a hit.... thankfully I can now enjoy most food again... apart from the hot stuff, Madras, Chilli con carne etc

I so miss the hot foods...  Almost any hot spice sets my throat off, no matter how little I have

But many other foods are now OK and it gets better with each week that passes

I can now do a Chasni curry, some spicy soups,  going to try a Tikka Masala in the next couple of weeks, 16 months post treatment and taste is still slowly getting better.

Your own hygienist 

I have one every three months

It protects my teeth for the days my mouth gets sore from inappropriate food and I can't use Duraphat
