Hi guys,

left tonsil p 16 positive squamous cell carcinoma T2 N1 M0.

just thought I’d drop an update, and thank you all again for the support/advice you gave me back in Jan - March prior, during my treatment.

I’m now almost 10 weeks post treatment ( six weeks R/T and five weeks Chemo). After a bumpy start I’m now feeling better as each week passes. Saliva, and swallowing still a bit of an issue but I’m getting there with taste and trying different foods ( albeit smaller portions and plenty of water) I was lucky not having to have a feeding tube fitted. Due to have my first three month scan early June so I’m really apprehensive.

thanks again

It’s wonderful to see you coming through. It makes this forum so worthwhile. Try not to worry about the scan. Failure is almost non existent, you know. Hugs.

Hu Jay just keep on doing what you're doing. My scan was 18 weeks after treatment had finished. I knew that at the start so didn’t stress about it try not to you can’t influence the results. Our cancers do respond extremely well to treatment remember that.
