So another hurdle cleared in this journey. Pleased to say my PET scan showed a complete metabolic response and I now move to 6 weekly check ups. Dry mouth persists and taste improvement slow at 18 weeks post radiotherapy. Just got to keep going.
Well done onwards and upwards some days 2 steps forward and one bsck. But you’ll get there.
