Hi Everyone,
Just a quick message to say merry Christmas to everyone going through or about to go through treatment and those who are post treatment.
Also a big thank you to the team on this forum who have got me through the past 12 months since my treatment ended ,answering my concerns and putting my mind at rest.
12 months on I still have lots of taste issues ,and if I eat the wrong foods I suffer for days afterwards. I wake up with a dry / sore throat most mornings, and my mouth never feels how it used to ,always a strange taste but I think of what the alternative would have been ,and thank my teams at Rotherham ENT and Western Park Sheffield for everything they did and continue to do.
Maybe one day I won't struggle as much to accept my new normal , but as long as this group is still here it helps.
This year I will be having a Christmas Dinner with my wife and Family and looking forward to it!
Best wishes to all and Thankyou Xx
