Hi guys, sorry I haven't been on here in a while, I'm now 4 weeks post treatment (6 weeks of aggressive RT) and just wanted to let you out guys know that I'm healing really well, my taste buds have come back, most of the redness on my neck has gone the only things I really still struggle with is exhaustion n swallowing proper food but am definitely getting there.

I still have my peg (named bestie) lol fortunately because I still have to use her for my ensure but only because I can't apparently put the weight back on quick enough but let's face it, it could of been so much worse.

It was a tough journey n at times I didn't think I could keep going through the treatment but hopefully I can give you a little reassurance that once you've completed treatment it doesn't take to long before you start to feel a bit more like yourself again, although of course it is different for anyone.

I wish you all the best on your journey Hun x
